Special Materials and Scenario Handling
Cutting Multi-Layer Materials
When cutting up to 5 sheets of standard A4 paper, press firmly and cut directly.
For cutting 10–20 sheets, use paperweights or clamps to secure the edges of the paper (ensuring even pressure distribution) to prevent interlayer shifting.
When cutting thick cardstock, leather, or other rigid materials, place a thin wooden board underneath the material to increase blade support and reduce desk damage.
Curved and Irregular Shape Cutting
When cutting arcs or complex shapes, first outline the design on the paper. Use small, short strokes (moving 1–2 cm each time) and gradually advance along the outline to avoid losing control from excessive blade rotation.
For hollow cutting (e.g., paper cutting), create a small hole inside the design first, then insert the blade and cut along the marked lines to reduce the risk of material tearing.
Tool Maintenance for Enhanced Efficiency
Maintaining Blade Sharpness
While high-speed steel blades are wear-resistant, prolonged use may cause paper debris or minor burrs to adhere to the blade. Use a fine-grit sharpening stone (1,000 grit or higher) to lightly sharpen the blade 2–3 times per week (always sharpen in one direction, not back-and-forth) to restore sharpness.
If cutting noticeably becomes more difficult (e.g., requiring significantly more force to cut through paper), replace the blade promptly (some paper cutters feature quick-change blade designs).
Cleaning and Rust Prevention
After each use, wipe the blade and handle with a dry cloth to prevent paper debris buildup from affecting future operations.
If used in a humid environment, lightly coat the blade surface with a small amount of oil (e.g., sewing machine oil) to prevent rust. Note: High-speed steel has strong corrosion resistance, so frequent oiling is unnecessary for daily maintenance.
