Adjustment, pressure
Careful adjustment of steel rule dies: cutting should be started only with minimal pressure.
Storage
Storage to avoid damages: steel rule dies should be stored vertically, leaving few centimetres between each die in order to protect rules.
Avoiding deformation
With the following parameters wood deformation, distortion or buckling could be avoided:
- Humidity: 45% – 60%
- Temperature: 18 oC – 23oC
Avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat.
