USING THE TODO™ MACHINE
Work on a solid stable surface. Place the machine on a suitable firm, flat and
substantial work surface, at a height that is comfortable for easy operation.
EMBOSSING WITH FOLDERS
An embossing folder is designed to give a plain piece of card a beautifully crisp
embossed design. There are many on the market, but these instructions will work
for all standard embossing folders.
1. Ensure the roller mechanism is to the side of the machine.
2. Place your C Plate on top of the base plate
3. Place your card inside your embossing folder and place your embossing folder
onto the C Plate.
4. Place your B Plate on top of the folder.
5. Adjust the pressure. The exact pressure will depend on the manufacturer of the
folder and the weight of material inside the folder. See settings table on page
15 for guidelines.
6. Turn the handle until the roller mechanism has gone over the complete folder.
7. Roll the mechanism to the opposite end of the machine, or back to the start and
remove the folder and card from the machine.
NOTE: You may feel the pressure increase slightly as the rollers go over the embossing folder. This
is supposed to happen. However, if you feel that you are having to force the rollers over the folder
reverse the rollers and reduce the pressure on the machine before trying again. DO NOT reset dial
during operation, always reverse the roller back before resetting the dial.

TIP: Try experimenting with different materials in
your embossing folders. Acetate, vellum and
chipboard can all be embossed to create
different looks. Just remember to adjust the
pressure for the different materials.
