Replace the Blade Cover and Blade Screw.
Fig. 4
The #701 has three depth settings:
Top setting
- safety setting
Middle setting
- standard thickness mat board (4 ply)
Bottom setting
- 3/16” foamboard
NOTE: Always have the three holes on the Blade Cover lined up exactly with the three holes
on the Blade Holder before replacing the Blade Screw.
702 Bevel Cutting Head
NOTE: The following must be done before loosening blade knob.
Loosen the Retaining Screw found on the back side of the Cutting Head until flush with the surface of
the base. This allows the Blade Holder to tilt back all the way for blade change. Slide one #270 blade
all the way in the back of the Blade Holder as shown.
Fig. 5
NOTE: The hole in the blade is not designed to line up with the Blade Screw.
Re-tighten the Blade Knob and tilt the Blade Holder down allowing the tip of the blade to enter the
Blade Slot. Retighten the Retaining Screw.

OPERATION
A. STRAIGHT CUTTING A BOARD TO SIZE
1. Remove the Mat Guide and Slip Sheet before straight cutting.
2. Set the Squaring Arm Stop at the number on the scale which you want your mat to be cut
down to.
3. Lift the Guide Rail and place a sheet of matboard against the Squaring Arm and slide the mat
board to the right against the stop. Make sure that it is squarely against the Squaring Arm.
4. Hook the Straight Cutting Head onto the Guide Rail past the end of the board to be cut. Grasp
the handle as shown in the picture and pull the Straight Cutting head towards you. Keep
constant downward pressure on the Straight Cutting Head and the Guide Rail as you make
your cut.
Fig. 1
CAUTION: Be careful to control the Straight Cutting Head as it breaks through the end of the
matboard as it will tend to “jump” towards you.
