Using the Dahle 550 Professional 14 - Inch Rolling Trimmer is easy. First, place your paper, photo, or cardstock on the sturdy metal base. Use the screened inch, metric, and angled guides to align your material accurately. You can also adjust the magnetic alignment guide for sizing your cuts. Once aligned, use the automatic clamp to hold the material securely so it doesn't shift. Then, use the self - sharpening blade to cut in either direction. For safety, remember that the ground steel blade is in a protective housing, but still handle it with care. When not in use, store it upright using the kickstand endcaps to save space. To maintain the trimmer, keep the blade clean and sharp. Wipe down the base and guides regularly. If you notice any issues with the blade's performance, it may need to be replaced.
