Troubleshooting
Fabric is fraying or not cutting cleanly
The blade is likely dull; replace the 45mm blade with a new one to restore cutting precision.
Difficulty cutting through the bottom layer of fabric
Ensure you are using a self-healing mat. If the mat has deep grooves, move to a flatter, undamaged section of the mat.
Blade feels stiff or does not rotate
Check the center screw for debris or lint buildup; clean the area and ensure the nut is not overtightened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure the safety lock is disengaged before cutting. This tool is designed for use on self-healing cutting mats; using it on wood, glass, or stone surfaces will dull the blade immediately. After use, always return the blade to the locked or closed position to prevent accidents. Store the cutter in a dry place to prevent the stainless steel blade from rusting. When the blade eventually becomes dull, replace it with a compatible 45mm rotary replacement blade to restore factory-level performance.
