1.5 Blades and Accessories
Testing Pen Holder:
The testing pen should be used until you are comfortable with the operation of the Klic-N-Kut and know, with
certainty, where images will cut. To assemble this testing pen, remove the top cap, slip the spring over the
top half of the pen insert and then drop the pen insert into the bottom half of the pen holder. Slide the cap
over the pen insert, allowing the pen insert to fit through the hole at the top of the cap. Screw into place.
Blades Included With Klic-N-Kut Purchase:
There are two kinds of blades included: The red capped blades are suited for cutting thinner materials such
as paper, vellum, vinyl, and thin cardstock. The Sliver 2 blue capped blades are much longer blades and
are well-suited for cutting thicker materials, such as textured cardstock, chipboard and craft foam.
Additionally, there are other tools sold separately that can fit into the blade holder, such as the fabric blade,
the engraving/embossing tip, and the punch tool (see below)
. Note that it’s VERY IMPORTANT to
insert
the correct end into the blade holder to avoid permanently damaging the blade holder. All of the
“
non-
blade
”
ends are inserted
with the “useful
/sharp
end” protruding through the
bottom.
Blade Installation:
The blade must be carefully inserted into the blade holder. Do this over a soft surface (e.g. over a hand
towel). I
t’s important to
protect the fragile blade! To install, follow the numbered steps as shown:
In Step 5, hold the material you are cutting up next to the blade and turn the silver gridded part to adjust the
amount of blade protruding. You will want to only see enough blade, as needed, to cut through the
thickness of the material to be cut. This is less than you probably think! So be on the conservative side first
and you can always extend the blade, as needed. More information is covered in the following subsection:
Setting the Blade Length.
If you received a second silver blade holder with your purchase, then use the following instructions for
inserting a blade and adjusting the blade exposure:
3. Turn counter-clockwise to
retract the blade.
4. Turn counterclockwise to
move towards the top.
5. Turn clockwise to set blade length
to match the thickness of the material
being cut.
6. Turn clockwise until
locked in place.
1. Push in and hold so
that a blade can be
inserted OR removed.
2. Gently insert non-
sharp end into
holder. An internal
magnet will pull the
blade inwards.
