The proper way to position the cutter and straightedge

Removing the “dropout.” The center of a cleanly cut mat should fall out after the last cut is made.

If the mat is still attached in the corners, finish cutting out the corners with a single-edged razor blade. Insert the blade from the back, holding it flat against the bevel, and carefully cut into the corners to free the dropout.

If the mat is not cut completely through in places, do not try to push the center of the mat out — this can rip the top layer and ruin the mat. Using a single-edged razor blade inserted from the back and set against the bevel to maintain the proper angle, carefully cut through the top layer. Use an emery board to sand off any rough edges. (Uneven pressure when cutting, a dull blade, or a blade not set deeply enough can cause this problem.)
