FAQs

How do I change the blade?

Retract the safety lock. Carefully push the blade assembly and pivot the blade out. Install the new blade by reversing the process, ensuring it is securely fastened and the safety lock is engaged.

Is this cutter suitable for left-handed users?

Yes, the blade can be installed on either side of the handle, making it fully ambidextrous and comfortable for both left- and right-handed users.

What materials can I cut with this rotary cutter?

This cutter is ideal for fabrics, paper, cardstock, scrapbooking materials, and thin leather. It is not designed for thick or heavy-duty materials.

How many spare blades are included?

The Milward 45mm Rotary Cutter comes with 5 spare steel blades in addition to the one pre-installed on the cutter.

How should I store the rotary cutter?

Always engage the safety lock and store the cutter and spare blades in the provided storage case to protect the blade and ensure safety.

How often should I replace the blade?

Blade replacement frequency depends on usage and material. Replace the blade when you notice it snagging, tearing, or no longer cutting cleanly.

Troubleshooting

Blade not cutting cleanly

Ensure the blade is sharp. If dull, replace with a new spare blade. Check that the fabric is flat and taut when cutting.

Safety lock is stiff

Ensure no fabric debris is obstructing the mechanism. Gently operate the lock. If persistent, contact customer support.

Cutter feels uncomfortable to hold

Confirm the handle orientation is set for your dominant hand. Ensure the grip is not overly tight; the soft grip is designed for comfort.

Blade seems loose

Retract the safety lock and re-secure the blade assembly according to the setup instructions. Ensure all parts are firmly in place.
