Before starting, you must adjust the distance, using the locking ring. This space will be the distance from the leather edge where you will have your stitching line.
Lay down the stitching groover on the leather with an angle between 30° and 45° and slide along the edge pushing down.
The first cut makes a groove with a depth of approximately 0.3 mm (0,011 inch).
If you want a deeper cut, simply repeat the operation.
