For safety, the blade will not
appear or cut until pressure
is applied on the cutter.
This window indicates
which blade style you
have selected.
Grip the wheel and
turn to select desired
blade style.
Safety and Conditions of Use:
- This cutter is intended for cutting paper or similar materials.
Do not cut more than 3 sheets of 24 lb. paper, or 1 sheet of
cardstock at a time.
- Always use the cutter on a flat, stable surface. Place a cutting
mat or similar under the paper that you are cutting to avoid
scratching or marking the work surface. Before cutting,
remove any metal from the work surface (i.e. staples, etc.)
- Children should use the cutter under adult supervision only!
- When not in use, be sure to lock the cutter by turning to the
“Safety Lock” symbol!
- Do not cut fabric, food items, metallic films, materials
containing traces of glass, or any other non-standard
materials.
- Incorrect use can cause injury, especially cuts.
- Do not try to repair the cutter yourself. No liability is accepted
for personal injury caused by incorrect use.

Preparation for use: Place the cutting mat on a work surface.
1. Unlocking: Unlock the cutter by
holding the purple cover firmly,
gripping the white bottom, then
turning the multi-position wheel in
the desired direction. The 3 blade options are indicated by the
purple symbols labeled on the cutter.
2. Choice of cutting style: Choose the blade style by holding the
purple cover and turning until the required symbol appears in
the window. There is a safety lock between each cutting style
option, indicated by a padlock symbol.
5. Carrying or Storage: Turn the cutter to the safety lock
position by holding the purple cover firmly and turning the
wheel until the padlock symbol appears.

3. Freehand Cutting: Before you start to cut freehand, check
that the triangular insert is snapped onto the bottom of the
cutter to prevent dents in your paper. Position the cutter on
the paper then place your index finger above the blade in use.
This provides a bit more pressure on the blade which assists
while cutting thicker paper. Keep pressing down on the cutter
while following the line of the shape you want to cut. When
you have finished cutting, lock the cutter. 4. Cutting using the straight-edge guide and templates: Ensure
that the cutter is locked, then remove the triangular insert on
the underside of the cutter. Choose the desired cutting blade,
then line up the grooves on the underside of the cutter with
the grooves in the templates, it may take gentle maneuvering
to get the freestyle to attach. Make the cut by holding down
the template and pressing down with your index finger on the
cutter above the blade following the guide. The cutter has a
swivel top which makes template cutting easier. When you
have finished cutting, lock the cutter.
NOTE: The wave blades should NOT be used on the inside of the circle or
oval templates to avoid damage to the blades and templates.
