설정
Upon receiving your Elan Cutting Mat, ensure it is laid flat on a stable, clean, and dry surface. The mat is designed to remain flat; avoid bending or rolling it, as this can affect its integrity and self-healing properties. Allow the mat to acclimate to room temperature if it has been stored in extreme conditions.
작동 지침
The Elan Cutting Mat provides a safe and accurate surface for cutting. Follow these guidelines for optimal use:
- 놓기: Always place the mat on a flat, stable surface to prevent uneven cuts and ensure safety.
- 절단 도구: Use sharp rotary cutters, craft knives, or utility blades. Dull blades can damage the mat and reduce its self-healing effectiveness.
- Using the Grid: Utilize the printed imperial grid lines for precise measurements and straight cuts. The grid includes various angles (e.g., 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°) to assist with complex cuts.
- 압력: Apply consistent, moderate pressure when cutting. Excessive force is not necessary due to the mat's self-healing properties and can dull your blades faster.
- Varying Cut Positions: To extend the life of the mat, try to vary your cutting paths across different areas of the surface. This distributes wear and tear, allowing the self-healing material to recover more effectively.
유지 보수 및 관리
Proper care will significantly extend the life and effectiveness of your Elan Cutting Mat:
- 청소: The mat is designed for hand washing only. Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water to clean the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the PVC material and printed grid.
- 저장: Store the mat flat. Do not roll, fold, or hang the mat, as this can cause permanent warping and compromise its flatness and self-healing capabilities.
- 온도: Avoid direct heat and sunlight. Extreme temperatures can cause the mat to warp or degrade the PVC material. Store in a cool, dry place.
- Blade Residue: Periodically wipe down the mat to remove any residue from cutting tools or materials.
문제 해결
| 문제 | 가능한 원인 | 해결책 |
|---|---|---|
| Mat is not flat/warped | Improper storage (rolled/folded), exposure to heat/sunlight. | Lay the mat flat in a cool, shaded area. Place heavy, flat objects evenly across the surface for several hours or days to help it flatten. Avoid direct heat. |
| Cuts are visible/not healing | Dull blade, excessive cutting in one area, very deep cuts. | Ensure your cutting blade is sharp. Vary cutting positions across the mat. While the mat is self-healing, extremely deep or repeated cuts in the exact same spot may leave faint marks over time. |
| Grid lines fading | Use of harsh cleaners, excessive friction. | Only use mild soap and water for cleaning. Avoid abrasive materials. The grid is professionally applied for durability, but proper care is essential. |
