Adjusting the Blade Extension
When you want to perform accurate and fine adjustment of the cutting-in amount, such as when cutting material with thin carrier
paper or when performing half-cutting of material having no carrier paper, you can obtain good results by adjusting the tip of the
blade.
Each indicator tick corresponds to 0.1 mm, and adjustment for
0.5 mm can be made by rotating the cap one full turn.
Min.: 0 mm
Adjusting the Blade Offset
The blade offset is determined according to the blade. The included blade is designed to cut correctly at a setting of 0.25 mm, but
adjustment may be required when using another type of blade. For information about the optimal offset for each blade, see "5
Selecting the Material and Blade." Good results can also be obtained by performing fine adjustment of blade offset according to the
material.
