Two different types of blade set are supplied with your machine. Refer to the table below to
see which type of blade/set is most suitable for your job.
The Standard blade set is designed to give a good crease on thick paper and thin card.
To do this, it makes a wide crease. A wide crease is necessary because it gives sufficient
material at the spine of the fold.
The Narrow blade set is designed to give a good crease on medium and thin paper. To do
this it makes a narrower crease than the Standard blade set does. A narrower crease is
necessary because if there is too much material at the spine of the fold, the fold might not
be accurate or square.
An optional blade set, known as the Ultra-Narrow blade set, is also available for purchase.
The Ultra-Narrow blade set is designed to make a very narrow crease. One should use
an ultra-narrow blade set if folding very thin paper (paper thickness close to the minimum
specification for this machine).
Always make sure you have the correct blade set installed before starting a job. When
running into creasing or folding problems, try a different blade set. This can help solve
the problem, even if it is not the usual blade set that is recommended. For blade set
replacement instructions, see the “Replacing Blade Sets” section within this manual.
