Changng the blade adjustment cap
To prevent damage to the cutting mat, the length of the blade protruding from the cap should not
exceed the thickness of the media.
Caution
When handling the cutter blade, take care not to cut your hands.
The blade adjustment cap is a screw-on type.
(1) Turn the cap in the counterclockwise direction to remove it.
(2) Replace it with the correct blade adjustment cap.
(3) Turn the cap in the clockwise direction to tighten it.

The optimal blade length is less than the thickness of the media and backing sheet combined,
but more than the thickness of the media. Make sure that blade length is never greater than the
combined thickness of the media and its backing sheet. If it is not possible to accurately determine
the media thickness, perform a cutting test for each blade adjustment cap in the order of blue,
yellow, and red. The most suitable cap is the one where only faint traces of the blade appear on the
backing sheet after the cutting test has been performed.
