Replacing the cutter blade
Cutter blade is a consumable item. As you continue cutting, cutting quality will gradually degrade. By changing the speed value or pressure
value of the cutter, improvement can be expected to some extent. If such changes do not improve the situation, replace the blade. Also, when
the cutter blade is broken or rounded, replace the blade with a new one.
New blades (low-pressure blade set for PVC sheet: Model SPB-0030) are available from your distributor MIMAKI sales office.
• The cutter blade is sharp. Keep your fingers away from the blade.
• Never swing the cutter holder to avoid danger. Blade can jut out from the cutter holder,
if swung.
