Recognizing a Worn Cutting Pad

Prestige SpaceSaver requires very little maintenance. After considerable use
(usually four to six months), the Cutting Pad (Figures E) will become worn. If
the machine is not cutting effectively, perform a test cut with four pieces of
construction paper, using a die with the cutting rule evenly distributed over the
surface (i.e. the "O," "S" or Flower #1A). If the die cuts through the first two
layers of paper and only partially cuts the third and/or fourth layer, it is time to
turn over or replace the Cutting Pad.

It's not the die that needs
replacing–it's the Cutting Pad!
