Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your workspace is flat and stable. The tool requires no electricity or external setup; it is ready to use straight out of the box. Simply refer to the printed guides on the surface for sizing instructions. To maintain the punch board, keep the punch area free of paper debris by gently tapping it upside down if scraps get trapped. Store the bone folder in the designated slot on the board to prevent loss, and wipe the surface occasionally with a dry, soft cloth to remove any dust or paper residue. Avoid using harsh chemicals or water to clean the plastic surfaces.
