Automatic Safety Latch
The patented automatic blade latch is a key safety feature of this

eliminate forgetfulness. Remember to always push the blade arm
down completely when you are finished cutting, to ensure that the
latch activates. Never remove the latch for any reason.

3. Lift the blade arm (A) up into cutting position
4. Slide the paper under the clamp (D), pushing the paper up
grid, to align the paper to the proper position.
CAUTION:

5. While holding the silver clamp handle (D) down with your left
hand, pull down the blade arm (A) to cut.
