Cleaning the blade holder cap

Consumable Items

Blade
New part Worn area
After prolonged use or cutting of hard material, the tip of the blade may become worn as shown in the
figure. Attractive cutting becomes impossible in such cases, so replace with a new blade.
Blade holder
When you adjust the blade tip and carry out cutting, the cap portion of the blade holder rubs against the
material as cutting is performed, and so the end of the cap gradually becomes worn. When wear is severe,
the blade tip cannot be adjusted correctly, and attractive cutting becomes impossible. Replace with a new
blade holder.
When the blade holder has been in use for a prolonged period, the bearing that supports the blade deterio-
rates, impeding rotation of the blade. Continued use while in this state may make attractive cutting impossible
because the blade tip cannot rotate easily.
If corners and curves are not cut attractively, or if cutting is discontinuous, refer to page 74, "Cleaning" and
clean the blade holder cap. If this does not improve the results, replacing the blade holder may bring about
improvement.
If material debris is adhering to the inner surface of the cap for the
blade holder, loosen and remove the cap, then remove the material
debris. If corners and curves are not cut attractively, or if cutting is
discontinuous, clean the blade holder cap.
If any of the following occurs, it means the blade has reached the end
of its useful life. Replace with a new blade.
 The blade tip is broken.
 Uncut areas remain even when blade force is raised 50 to 60 gf.
 Cutting traces are not as attractive as they were previously.
 When cutting details or corners, the material layer peels away from
the carrier paper.
