HOW TO HANDLE YOUR MASTERCUT OR MONORAIL
- ALWAYS hold your trimmer with two hands by the baseboard.
- NEVER hold your trimmer by its bar.
HOW TO USE YOUR MASTERCUT OR MONORAIL
- Always place your Mastercut or Monorail on a flat surface to prevent movement.
- Position the cutting head to the right hand side of the trimmer before inserting material.
- Insert your material to the left hand side of the trimmer, placing the work under the clear clampstrip (to ensure a square cut). Butt your work up to the side and position the cursor to the desired measurement.
- Slide the cutting head right to left to smoothly cut through your work, replacing the cutting head to the right hand side before removing your work to ensure a clean cut edge.
- Models: MCA1-MCA0 offer a one-way cut.
- Models: MCA4-MCA2 offer a two-way cut (excludes Monorail 26)
- NEVER exceed the recommended cut capacity for your trimmer - this may lead to overloading and could effect the warranty of your trimmer.
