Note • The support sheet may be unintentionally peeled off while you are removing the fabric from the mat under the following conditions: - The adhesive between the mat and support sheet is becoming weak after repeated uses. - The support sheet tends to be strongly attached to a certain types of fabrics. • In this case, use the included spatula to hold the support sheet on the mat and remove the fabric using your hand. • After cutting, carefully remove any fibers remaining on the support sheet. • Do not leave material attached to a mat with a support sheet attached for a long period of time; otherwise, the adhesive will permeate the material. • When peeling off the material, insert the spatula as level as possible into the space between the material and mat. Strongly rubbing the adhesive side of the mat may damage it.
