Adjusting the Blade Edge
The blade edge needs to be adjusted according to the type of cutter and medium you use.
After having adjusted the blade edge, set cutting conditions and conduct test cutting to check how the cutter cuts.
1
Remove the cutter holder
and loosen the locknut.
2
Rotate the adjustment knob and adjust the length of
the blade edge drawn out.
3
Tighten the locknut.
• Tighten the adjustment knob until
it does not rotate any further.
Adjust the length of the blade edge
• Be careful that the length of the blade edge is not too long. When the blade edge is too long, the cutter
may cut the backing paper through and damage the machine.
• For the blade edge adjustment of cutters other than ones supplied with this machine, see the Appendix.

Reference:
Length of the blade edge drawn out = 0.3 to 0.5 mm
(When the blade edge cuts badly, replace the blade
with another.)
• Adjust the pressure so that the backing paper has a little cutting streak.
• When the backing paper thickness is less than the film thickness and, therefore, accurate cutting
quality cannot be obtained, changing the length of the blade edge may produce a good result.
