Product Information
Full details
The IDEAL 1133 A4 Guillotine is designed for occasional users who need precise paper cutting for projects like trimming digital photographs or creating samples. Its key benefit is providing safe and accurate cuts up to 15 sheets of standard paper with a Teflon-coated blade for smooth operation. A potential consideration is its entry-level status, making it best suited for lighter, less frequent use rather than high-volume professional environments. Key features include a self-sharpening Teflon-coated blade, an integrated safety guard, accurate cutting guides, and a manual clamp.

What is the warranty period for this product?
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer. Please check the product packaging or contact your point of purchase for details.
Troubleshooting
Guillotine is not cutting cleanly through paper.
Ensure you are not exceeding the 15-sheet capacity for 70 g/m² paper. Check the blade for any paper residue and clean with a dry cloth. If the issue persists, the blade may need professional sharpening or replacement.
Paper is not aligning correctly.
Verify that the paper is firmly against the side lay and back gauge. Ensure the back gauge is securely locked in position. Use the printed format indicators on the cutting table for reference.
The blade seems stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any obstructions on the blade or cutting bar. Ensure the paper is positioned correctly and not bunching up. Clean the blade and cutting area with a dry cloth.
Safety guard feels loose.
Ensure the guard is correctly seated on the cutting bar. If it remains loose, contact customer support for assistance.
