Tips From The Manufacturer:

  • When you are finished using the Gemini II, switch off both the power button at the top of the machine and the power rocker switch at the back of the machine. 
  • Should the sandwich stop while progressing through the machine, you will need to manually reverse the plates. Hold down the Pause/Resume button for approximately 5 seconds until the rollers begin to reverse.
  • Should you inadvertently make an incorrect sandwich that the machine cannot accept, the machine will detect this and reverse the plates. Check the sandwich carefully before putting it back into the machine. 

Compatibility: Works with most types of thin metal dies and embossing folders. Works with various paper products, fabrics, chipboard, and other lightweight wood products (all products sold separately). This machine is compatible in the US and Canada only.

General Care/Safety Warnings: 

  • To clean your machine, wipe the exterior surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or rough surface sponges
  • Not intended for use by children without adult supervision. For ages 14+.  
  • Keep hands away from plates and other parts in motion. 
  • Loose-fitting clothing can get pulled into the machine, so be aware of your clothing. 
  • Do not disable the safety sensor and override the motor controls. 

Instructions: There is a User Guide included in the box and this is filled with all the ways to use the machine, the different sandwiches needed for the die types, embossing folders, and more.  Please refer to this guide for all details on use.

    I LOVE it But

    This is the quietest cutting machine I have ever heard. Still about the same size as original Gemini. Still can put in Jr plates just tun them. My only complaint is that they advertise it with the turny thingy (lazy Susan) in all the videos BUT ITS NOT INCLUDED. I did not realize this and now they are sold out. Plus I hate to have to pay additional shipping to get it. Otherwise AWESOME machine.

    Plates

    Was very excited to try out the electric machine but after just a few tries the plates warped real bad. I had gone on different sites to try different sandwiches but since the plates warped it is really hard to place dies in without them moving all around

  • too bad can't give 0 star

    Don't buy this very expensive machine. The plates warp even if you follow the directions.

    Nice cuts

    This is a step up from the original Gemini in that it is faster, quieter, and smoother. I love it. However, it does not do full plate cuts. It does not cut about 1" on the sides, so you have a 7" wide surface, not 9". The original one was the same, so I'm not surprised. However, they shouldn't advertise something that isn't true. For that, I'm disappointed. Even still, it's a great machine. I'm thrilled I have it.
