When cutting thick and hard materials such as basswood and chipboard, you can make a clean cut by fixing the material to the mat with masking tape.

How to fix the material

Fix all four sides of the material as shown below.

Put tape along the side of the material to fix it.
* If there is a gap between the material and the tape, the material may not be fixed properly and may not be cut cleanly.

 【 If a material slip on the mat even though you tried the above operation 】

• The mat’s adhesive strength may have been decreased, or the material is not secured properly. Replace the mat with a new one.
• The blade may be worn. Replace the blade with a new one.

To adjust the Cut Amount setting, touch  in the home screen, and then adjust the setting for Cut Amount.

Reducing the cutting depth reduces the resistance when cutting the material.
This prevents the mat from slipping during cutting. Reducing the cutting depth may increase the cutting time since the number of cuts increases.
