Do the guide bars on the left and right sides adjust? Or are they fixed? And can you completely remove the guide with red button? That will be in the way of how I envision working.
The left guide bar can be moved and/or removed. The right guide can be removed too but it would not be recommended. The right guide holds the paper down to ensure a straight and clean cut.
