subject: How to Use a Paper Cutter [print this page] For cutting paper, most people generally use scissors. But, if you get difficulty to use scissors or want to cut many papers in the straight, clean edges, a paper cutter can be an ideal solution.
To get the right one, you should pick a paper cutter that is suitable with your needs. Of course, you should also take space and budget into consideration. You can opt from automatic versus manual, low versus high capacity and stationery versus mobile models. In this case, you should ensure that your chosen cutter is able to work for anything you need to cut.
Also, you should place the cutter on a flat surface before attempting to cut. Do not forget to give priority in the safety. Place the cutter in a safe place when you do not use it.
It is suggested for you to put the paper on the base of cutting. Automatically, several models measure the paper and others provide guides to measure the paper cutting. For getting a clean cut, you should only put the maximum amount of paper allowed on the paper cutter.
To use the blade for cutting the paper, you should bring your arm down or maneuver the blade based on the type of cutter. If the cutter you have is an automatic cutter, then the machine itself can maneuver the blade.
Finally, cut the paper depending on what you want. By the way, you are able to get smaller versions of the handheld and arm cutters in the sections of scrapbook in craft stores.
