Maximal thickness of the steel sheets that you can cut with this tool is 2mm. Lower knife (item 1) and Upper knife (item 2) have to be tempered in order to harden them and besides that, these two items have to be made out of the quality steel with high hardness.
Do not forget to chamfer the edges on items 1, 2, 3, 7 and 8. This way you will avoid injuries that can happen on very sharp edges. It should become a rule when you work with metal items that are being made by cutting, milling or turning.
The measurements are given in millimeters, and the measurements in inches are given in brakes (1 inch = 25, 4 mm).

| The procedure of cutting the sheet begins by placing delimiter on the required distance from the Lower knife. After that, the steel sheet is being placed on the left between the knives, until it reach delimiter. By pulling down the Handle, you will cut the sheet with the exact width as it is between delimiter and lower knife. |
