Troubleshooting
Guillotine not cutting cleanly
Ensure you are not exceeding the 15-sheet capacity. Check for any debris on the blade or cutting track and clean them. If the issue persists, the self-sharpening blade may require further use to maintain sharpness, or contact customer support.
Blade seems stiff or difficult to move
Check for obstructions around the blade. Ensure the safety guard and blade lock are disengaged correctly. Wipe the blade and track with a dry cloth. Avoid forcing the blade.
Paper is not aligned correctly
Utilize the mm and inch markings on the baseboard and the transparent safety guard to accurately position the paper before cutting. Ensure the paper is pushed firmly against the back guide.
Safety guard is loose
Check if the hinge mechanism for the guard needs tightening. If it appears damaged, contact customer support.
