Incorrect cutting conditions may cause symptoms such as those described below.
• The cutter requires frequency replacement.
• Cutting extends through the base paper, and normal advancing
of the sheet becomes impossible.
Some parts of the sheet remain uncut.
For Materials with a Strong Adhesive Layer
If you are using a material with a strong adhesive layer, the adhesive layer may adhere to itself immediately when cut. This means that even
though the material has actually been cut, it may appear as if it has not been cut, and blade force may mistakenly be set too high.
If a cutting test shows that the material peels easily and the blade traces on the carrier paper are optimal, then the material is being cut.
Take care not to set the blade force excessively high.
