To Begin Using Your AccuCut®Machine Immediately:

To begin cutting, simply lift the machine out of the box, place die tray on white rollers,

position a die in die tray FOAM SIDE UP with material to cut on top of die—and begin

cutting. Your new AccuCut machine is ready to use right out of the box! No assembly,

shimming, testing or cutting height adjustment needed. Questions? Contact AccuCut’s friendly

Customer Service Center (see below), or visit AccuCut online at www.accucut.com. Have fun!

Please place this manual near your machine, and require all users to review it. Educate all users

about the machine’s features to help avoid damage to machine or dies.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: SETUP OF MACHINE AND DIE CENTER

Installation Instructions:

Setup of Machine and Die Center

To set up your AccuCut®system for immediate use,

simply remove machine and die tray from box,

place machine in an appropriate location, then

position die tray in machine. Voila! Grab a die, and

you are ready to cut. No assembly! No shimming,

testing or adjustment needed!

Where to Place Machine

Place AccuCut machine on a sturdy table or

counter, with the machine positioned at least waist

high for most users. If table or counter is too low,

put machine on an AccuCut riser (Figure 1).

Where to Position Die Tray

Place die tray on top of white rollers, where it will

remain at all times—both during cutting and while

machine is not in use (Figure 2).

How to Store Dies

For safety and protection of dies, always store dies

in cases. Position AccuCut die storage cases on

tabletops and countertops near the machine. Some

AccuCut storage cases fit into carrying bags for

easy mobility and protection (Figure 3).

Never stack dies on tabletops or floors. Always

store dies away from unsupervised access

of children.

How to Organize Dies

As your die collection increases, you’ll want a

method of organization for easy die identification

and storage. Many AccuCut machine owners mark

dies with consecutive numbers as they are

purchased, then store in cases numerically

(Figure 4). Cut a sample shape of each die and

display the shapes on a board or in a binder, along

with the die number, for easy location of dies.

Figure 2: Place die tray on white rollers.

Figure 4: Number dies in

cases for easy reference.

PARTS OF AN ACCUCUT MACHINE & DIE 3

Parts of an AccuCut®Machine

(NOTE: Parts shown are found on both the AccuCut MARK IV™machine and the MARK III™machine.

Both machines have a lifetime warranty.)

Parts of an AccuCut®Die

(Features shown are found on AccuCut dies of all sizes. Wood dies have a three-year warranty. Some

AccuCut dies are made using see-through acrylic instead of wood. These dies are called Clear Cuts™

dies and have a two-year warranty.)

Top Roller (black polyurethane). As a die

passes under the top roller, the roller

presses paper or other cutting material into

the die’s blades. The blades cut through the

paper and into the roller. Replace roller

once a year with average use.

Die Tray. The

MARK IV tray

carries as many

as five large-sized

dies at once

under roller

during cutting.

Laser-cut holes or

channels in the

die tray allow for

flexing of the tray

as pressure is

exerted during

cutting. Replace

once a year with

average use.

Safety Guard. Won’t allow items

thicker than 1⁄8" to go between roller

and die. To remove safety guard for

roller cleaning, simply squeeze

gently and lift. Wipe roller to

remove small bits of paper.

Replace guard by squeezing

gently and lowering into

place, making sure edges

slide inside of pins.

Safety guard must

be in place

when operating

machine.

Handle. Turn handle in the

direction you want the die to go—

machine cuts from both directions!

“Roller Replacement” Sticker.

Lists steps for replacing roller.

“How to Operate”

Sticker. Lists steps

for operating machine.

Die Design. A

laser machine cuts

a channel into the

die’s base in the

shape of the

desired design.

Wood or Acrylic Base. Most dies are

made with wood bases. Clear Cuts™

see-through acrylic dies allow you to

position the die design easily over a

photo, words or artwork.

Steel-Rule Blade.

After the steel blade is

bent into the shape of

desired design, it is

inserted into the

laser-cut channels in

the die’s base. The

strong and durable steel-

rule blade cuts through

many layers of paper or

other cutting material.

Good for one million cuts!

Rubber Foam.

To protect users

from the sharp

steel-rule blade,

rubber foam is

glued to the die

base around the

blades.

Die Label.

A label on each die lists

the die’s item number with a

size designator, die name,

bar code and a small image

of the shape.

I.D. Plate.

Machine serial

number is located

CUTTING MATERIALS & LAYERS

Cutting Materials & Layers

Here’s What You Can Cut with an AccuCut®Machine!

NOTE: Numbers of layers listed are estimates only and depend on actual thickness of materials. To

determine actual number of layers, start with one layer and test the cut, then add one layer at a time,

testing cut again each time. When blade no longer cuts all the way through a stack of material, remove

a layer or two and proceed with cutting.

Recommended Number of Layers

Lightweight Paper 6-8 4-6

Construction Paper 4-6 4

Laminated Paper 31-2

Cardstock 3-4 2-3

HOW TO PLACE PAPER OR OTHER MATERIAL ON AN ACCUCUT DIE 5

How to Place Paper or Other Material

on an AccuCut®Die

Die: Foam Side Up

Paper: Pattern Side Down

Always remember to cut with the die FOAM SIDE UP in the die tray. Any other method of operation

will result in damage to dies and machine. Also, cut with pattern side of the paper or other cutting

material facing down onto the die.

Figure 2: You will be able to cut more shapes from a

sheet of paper if you place paper so it just covers design,

not entire surface of die.

Figure 1: Place paper on die with pattern side down.

Figure 3: Placing paper with pattern side down is especially important

when cutting letters or words, so the pattern will be on the correct side.

Lifetime Warranty

All models of AccuCut®Roller Die Cutting Machines are covered by a lifetime warranty

against all defects in material or workmanship. Rollers and die trays are consumable parts and

not covered by the warranty.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Operating Instructions

Look for the “How to Operate” sticker on the side of your AccuCut MARK IV™machine for easy step-by-step

instructions! (See page 3 for location of sticker.) Here’s how the AccuCut machine works…

Three Easy Steps for Perfectly Cut Letters and Shapes

HINT: For best cutting results, position die at a slight angle to the roller. This creates diagonal pressure, much

like scissors, and makes cutting easy!

STEP 1

Place die completely inside the tray

with FOAM SIDE UP. It is often

helpful to angle die slightly in the

tray. Place material on top of die.

STEP 2

Push die and tray until die meets

roller. Turn handle in the direction

you want die and tray to go

through the machine. Pressure is

preset, so there is no guessing

how hard to press.

STEP 3

Remove die-cut shape. Place new

material on top of die and roll

through machine from the opposite

direction. No handling of die

between cuts. Replace roller and

tray once a year. Call 800-288-1670

or visit www.accucut.com.

How to Place Dies in the MARK III™Die Tray

For best results, place each size of AccuCut die into the machine’s die tray as shown below. Make sure dies

lie completely inside of die tray—not on top of any edge of the die tray. Always place dies in die tray with

FOAM SIDE UP.

AccuCut User’s Manual

HOW TO PLACE DIES IN THE MARK IV DIE TRAY 7

One Die at a Time

Moving dies

to different

locations in

the tray for

cutting helps

extend the

life of both

roller and

tray. Cutting

in different

positions

wears the roller evenly and helps distribute stress

on the tray, making the tray last longer.

Long Cut Dies

Angle long

cut dies for

best results.

DO NOT

allow long

die to rest

on lip of the

die tray as

you cut!

Jumbo Dies

When cutting

lightweight

paper, place

one hand

lightly on top of

paper as you

roll die and

paper through

machine.

Mini, Small, Large Dies

Place mini,

small or

large dies in

the die tray

side-by-side

as shown,

two

horizontally

and three

vertically.

(Die boards

for all three of these sizes

are exactly the same.)

Extra Long Cut Dies

Place XLC

die at a

slight angle

for most

efficient cut.

Super-Jumbo Dies

Many super-

jumbo shapes

are designed

for cutting on a

fold. Cut the

shape from a

folded piece of

paper, then

open to get a

shape twice the

size of die

design!

Die Capacity: 5

How to Place Dies in the MARK IV™Die Tray

For best results, place each size of AccuCut®die into the machine’s die tray as described below. Make sure

dies lie completely inside of die tray—not on top of any edge of the die tray. Always place dies in die tray

with FOAM SIDE UP. Experiment with placement when cutting dies of varying sizes at the same time.

User-Maintenance Instructions

An AccuCut machine is easy to maintain. To keep it cutting efficiently, simply replace two parts periodically, and

keep dies free of lint and scraps. It couldn’t be simpler!

Replacement Parts

The roller applies even, preset pressure directly onto the die, causing the blade in the die to cut up through the

paper and into the roller. That pressure causes eventual wear of two consumable machine parts: the roller and

the die tray.

How to Replace the AccuCut Roller

Look for the “How to Replace Roller” sticker on the side of your machine for easy reference while replacing

roller. (See page 3 for location of sticker.)

USER-MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1

Remove Safety Guard & Cover Plate

Grasp and squeeze safety guard with

both hands and lift straight up. Use

the 3⁄32" hex wrench to remove the

two screws in the metal cover plate

without the handle. Set screws aside

and remove cover plate.

STEP 2

Remove Old Roller & Install New Roller

Pull roller out and discard. Slide

new roller in and set into position

by fitting metal shaft into opening

on opposite side of machine. Rotate

roller until it locks into end of shaft

and the handle turns with the roller.

STEP 3

Replace Cover Plate & Safety Guard

Make sure sides of guard slide inside

locking pins. Replace roller and tray

once a year, depending on use. To order,

call AccuCut Customer Service at

800-288-1670/402-721-4134.

The roller is cut repeatedly

by the blades. It eventually

turns white and wears

away incrementally in the

areas where you do the

most cutting.

(MARK III™Item 404311;

MARK IV ™Item 404310)

The die tray, which receives

the pressure of cutting,

eventually becomes slightly

warped. This happens for

most users after a year or

more of use.

(MARK III™Item 406102;

MARK IV ™Item 406100)

Replace roller and die tray when…

• You are not able to cut the number of layers of paper and other materials listed on page 4.

• The roller has turned light gray or white.

• The tray bows in the middle or makes a popping sound when a die is rolled through machine.

WARNING: SAFETY GUARD MUST BE IN PLACE DURING OPERATION. KEEP

HANDS AND FINGERS CLEAR OF ROLLER OR SERIOUS BODILY INJURY CAN OCCUR.
