3. Material einfügen: Carefully feed the edge of your material under the cutting mechanism, aligning it with the clear cutting guide bar.
4. Engage Cutting: Press the foot pedal to activate the rotary cutting blade. Guide the material smoothly through the machine, maintaining consistent pressure against the guide bar for straight cuts.
5. Continuous Cutting: For longer strips, ensure the material is fed continuously and evenly.

5.3 Embossing

The machine also features an embossing function. Specific instructions for embossing patterns will depend on the embossing plates used (sold separately). Generally, material is fed through the machine with an embossing plate, and the pressure mechanism creates the desired raised design.

6. Wartung

Durch sachgemäße Wartung wird die Langlebigkeit und optimale Leistung Ihrer Maschine sichergestellt.

• Reinigung: Regularly wipe down the exterior of the machine with a soft, dry cloth. Remove any fabric fibers or paper dust from the cutting area using a small brush or compressed air. Ensure the machine is unplugged before cleaning.
• Klingenpflege: The cutting action relies on pressure between the drum and blade, rather than sharpness, which contributes to longer blade life compared to traditional rotary cutters. No sharpening is typically required.
• Lagerung: Bewahren Sie das Gerät an einem sauberen, trockenen Ort auf, wenn es nicht in Gebrauch ist.
