			Before starting to cut laminate it is best to know what you are doing so that you don’t waste any material. In this guide we walk you through how to cut laminate across the width.

			Step 1 – Stabilise cutter Make sure the laminate floor cutter is placed on a sturdy surface.

			Step 2 – Measure and mark Measure and mark the piece of laminate to be cut.

			Step 3 – Insert laminate Lift the blade and place the laminate (finished side up) with the tongue side closest to the blade.

			If cutting a long piece of laminate, the trestle should be placed underneath the board.

			Step 4 – Align laminate Align the marking on the board with the edge of the blade. It is important that you have the side to be used on the outside of the blade and take into consideration the sliver the blade will remove.

			If there is a board stopper and locking system, tighten the screws to secure the board.

			Step 5 – Begin cut Hold the laminate with one hand and begin to lower the blade with the other.

			Step 6 – Complete cut When the incision has begun, use both hands to fully lower the blade and complete the cut.
