5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

Follow these steps to create notches on your envelopes or cards:

1. Prepara tu material: Ensure your paper or cardstock is flat and free of creases. The tool is designed for paper and cardstock.
2. Identify the punching sides: The notcher has two distinct sides, marked 'TOP' and 'BOTTOM'. It is crucial to use the correct side for the desired notch shape and function. Refer to Image 1.1 for visual guidance.
3. Position the material: Slide the edge of your envelope flap or card into the notcher. Align the edge of your material with the guides on the tool to ensure a straight and centered notch. For best results, ensure the material is fully inserted against the back stop.
4. Punch the notch: Firmly press down on the punching mechanism. You will feel a click as the notch is cut.
5. Release and repeat: Release the mechanism and carefully remove your material. Repeat the process on other edges of your envelope or card as needed to create a secure, adhesive-free closure.

Consejo: While the tool has guides, achieving a perfectly centered notch on all paper sizes may require careful visual alignment. Practice on scrap paper first to get a feel for the tool and its alignment with different material dimensions.
