If you are cutting across a sheet of matboard, simply start
the blade beyond the top edge of the board and pull the
Mat Knife completely through.
4. Cutting
Draw the Mat Knife toward you along the Straight Edge
keeping constant pressure on the Straight Edge and down-
ward pressure on the Mat Knife.

WARNING! Be careful when knife reaches the end of
the mat so that it does not ”jump” toward you.
Bevel Cutter
Cutting a Single Mat
1. Using the scale side of Straight Edge, mark the back of the
mat for the exact border you want.
2. Place the mat face down on the Slip Sheet. Place the
Straight Edge EXACTLY on the left hand border so that the
outside edge of the channel is lined up along the pencil
line.
Fig.4
. Make sure that the bulk of the mat is to the
right hand side of the Straight Edge. Having the mat on the
left side of the Straight Edge will result in a reversed bevel
cut. Attach the 302 Bevel Cutter to the straight edge by fit-
ting the black nylon guides over the raised edge of the
channel. Position the Mat Cutter so that the silver indicator
line lines up with the bottom intersecting pencil line.

3. Hold downward pressure on the Straight Edge with your
left hand. Place the thumb of your right hand on the thumb
divot on the retractable Blade Holder and plunge the blade
into the mat.
4. Keeping downward pressure on the Blade Holder, slide the
Bevel Cutter away from you until the silver line on it inter-
sects with the upper pencil line. Be sure to keep even
downward pressure.

5. Use your thumb to pull the Blade Holder back into the up
position so the blade is removed from the mat. Repeat
these steps for the remaining three sides. Congratulations!
You have just cut your first mat.
