2.4 Adjust the blade length
The blade length is adjusted by turning the blade adjustment knob.
• To extend the cutter blade, turn the knob in the A direction.
• To retract the cutter blade, turn the knob in the B direction.
How to confirm the right height
Gradually increase the blade length to suit the thickness of the medium being used.
The ideal blade length is a length that is slightly less than the combined thickness of
the film and its backing sheet, but greater than the thickness of the film itself.
Adjust the blade length so that only traces of the blade appear on the backing sheet
when a cutting test is performed. If the blade cuts right through the backing sheet,
decrease the blade length. If the blade does not cut the film cleanly, increase the
blade length.

Be sure to correctly adjust the blade length. If the blade length is too long for the
thickness of the medium being used, you may damage the writing panel and/or
the cutter blade.
