SIMPLEX
To re-square
1. By looking at where the gap is you can determine which way the squaring arm needs to go in
order to be square again.
2. Remove the squaring arm and locate the three screws inside of the slot.
3. Adjust only two screws A&B. DO NOT ADJUST C. To adjust, you must turn screws A & B in
equal but opposite directions. To move the far right end of the squaring arm towards the top
end of the machine, turn adjustment screw B inward (clockwise) about a quarter turn and
adjustment screw A outward (counter-clockwise) a quarter turn. Fig. 2
4. Re-install the squaring arm and check for square. This is a trial and error method, in some
cases more than a quarter turn is needed, in some cases less.
D. HELPFUL HINTS
1. Always store your Simplex Plus Mat Cutter flat. Never stand the Mat Cutter up against a wall
for any period of time. This can cause the Mat Cutter base to bow.
2. If you need to clean the Guide Rail, only use an evaporating solvent (lighter fluid, alcohol)
that will leave no residue. Do not lubricate the Guide Rail as the substance will soften the
Nylon Guides on the cutting heads causing them to bind on the Guide Rail.
3. The Bevel Cutting head has a "spring back" feature installed. This spring action is not
intended to pull the blade up out of the mat after a cut. It is a safety device to prevent the
blade from dropping down into the blade slot and cutting into a table, your hand, etc. when
not in use.
4. A NOTE ON BLADE LIFE:
No two blades may last the same. It is a good idea to install a new blade before starting a
new project to insure best cutting results.
Note: Use only authentic Logan blades
