Adjusting the Blade Extension
When you want to perform accurate and fine adjustment of the cutting-in amount, such as when cutting material with thin carrier
paper or when performing half-cutting of material having no carrier paper, you can obtain good results by adjusting the tip of the
blade.
Each indicator tick corresponds to 0.1 mm, and adjustment for
0.5 mm can be made by rotating the cap one full turn. Turn the cap portion to adjust the amount of blade
extension, which is approximately equal to the cutting-in
amount.
Setting the blade force slightly higher than normal
achieves a stable cutting-in amount.

Adjusting the Blade Offset
The blade offset is determined according to the blade. The included blade is designed to cut correctly at a setting of 0.25 mm, but
adjustment may be required when using another type of blade. For information about the optimal offset for each blade, see “6 About
the Blades and Materials.” Good results can also be obtained by performing fine adjustment of blade offset according to the material.
