2.1 Squaring the FSC
Follow these steps to assure that the Vertical Track / cutting head is square
(perpendicular) to the Horizontal Material Bar’s top surface.
1. Take a ¼" thick piece of PVC or foamboard (approx. 32"H x 40"W) and place the straight
edge on the Horizontal Material Bar so that roughly half the board is on either side of the
cutting head/Vertical Track.
2. Insert the 1/2" Blade Holder (with blade, see sections 3.2 and 4.1) into the Cutting Head.
Clamp the board in place, depress the Thumb Lever, raise the Cutting Head and make two
(2) cuts: make the first cut through the top edge of the board 1"(25mm) long, and a second
cut through the bottom edge of the board 1" (25mm) long (see photos below).
3. Rotate the board 180° so the back is now
facing you and the board is resting on the
same bottom edge as before. Slide it into
the machine again. Align the blade with the
bottom cut you made, which will now be
visible from the reverse side of the board.
Clamp the board into place. Depress the
Thumb Lever, raise the Cutting Head and
make a third cut 1" long at the top edge of
the board.
