How to Use a Fiskars Paper Trimmer

Paper trimmers are used for creating an assortment of paper crafts.

Paper trimmers are used by crafters to create beautiful scrapbook pages, cards and other paper crafts. Fiskars' paper trimmer has a system that locks a blade and a rail together in order to create a mechanism that consistently cuts paper with a straight edge. A cut line provides the user with a way to measure the length and width of the paper strip that is being cut away. Different types of paper cutters possess varying features, but maintain a common basic functionality that is easily mastered.

Instructions

1. Place your paper trimmer on a flat surface. Take the piece of paper that you want to cut and place it on the Fiskars paper trimmer.

2. Measure the paper using the measurements on the paper trimmer, and mark the paper at the spots where you will make the cuts.

3. Align the marks on the paper with the cutting guide. Lift the guide rail up and position the paper under the rail bar. Lower the guide rail bar and press it down onto the paper to precisely trim the paper according to your specifications.
