Loosen the black locking knob on the left side of the cutter. Align the back gauge with the required cutting setting on the ruler. Press down firmly on the back gauge while tightening the locking knob. This will lock the setting in place.

Insert a stack of paper through the cut opening. Align the paper's edges flush against the side rail and the back gauge.

Hold the stack of paper firmly with your left hand and use your right hand to turn the clamp wheel clockwise. Continue turning the wheel until the clamp touches the paper stack. Turn the wheel one-quarter to one-half turn more to properly tighten the clamp.
