3. Freehand Cutting: Before you start to cut freehand, check
that the triangular insert is snapped onto the bottom of the
cutter to prevent dents in your paper. Position the cutter on
the paper then place your index finger above the blade in use.
This provides a bit more pressure on the blade which assists
while cutting thicker paper. Keep pressing down on the cutter
while following the line of the shape you want to cut. When
you have finished cutting, lock the cutter. 4. Cutting using the straight-edge guide and templates: Ensure
that the cutter is locked, then remove the triangular insert on
the underside of the cutter. Choose the desired cutting blade,
then line up the grooves on the underside of the cutter with
the grooves in the templates, it may take gentle maneuvering
to get the freestyle to attach. Make the cut by holding down
the template and pressing down with your index finger on the
cutter above the blade following the guide. The cutter has a
swivel top which makes template cutting easier. When you
have finished cutting, lock the cutter.
NOTE: The wave blades should NOT be used on the inside of the circle or
oval templates to avoid damage to the blades and templates.
