Abstract
A trimmer that is operable to cut at least one sheet includes a base configured to support the at least one sheet and a rail extending across at least a portion of the base. The rail is movable toward the base in a first mode to clamp the at least one sheet between the rail and the base. The trimmer also includes a cutting assembly having a blade slidably coupled to the rail. The blade is operable to cut the at least one sheet. The trimmer further includes a clamping member coupled to the rail. The clamping member is movable relative to the rail and toward the base in a second mode to clamp the at least one sheet between the clamping member and the base.
