How to Use
Open the self-lubricating reservoir and fill with the Alpha® EZ Cutter Oil (Part No. KOC1000)
Before making the score, test to make sure that the EZ Cutter is dispensing oil.
Align the Alpha® Spike Ruler to the line on the material that needs to be scored if you are using the Slimline or Pistol Type Oil Cutters. If you are using the T-Cutter, you do not need the Spike Ruler.
Place the EZ Cutters scoring wheel on the edge of the material, while applying consistent down pressure pull the EZ Cutter towards you in a continuous non stopping motion till you reach the end of the material. Close the self-lubricating reservoir.
Position the Alpha® Running Pliers (Part No. KOC512P) on the score mark and squeeze the handles to apply pressure on the scored material. The material will snap following the score mark across the material. TIP: Teaming up and using two Alpha® EZ Glass Running Pliers at the same time with one on each side of the long panel is optional but recommended so the snapped panel does not get damaged.
If the material has fiberglass on the back surface, you will need to use a razor blade to cut the fiber glass after the material has been snapped.
It is recommended after the material has been scored and snapped, use the Alpha® Electroplated Hand Pads (#60 or #150 grit) to remove the sharp edges. (Part No. DHP0060 or DHP0150)
