5 About the Blade

This section indicates the proper cutting conditions for various types of materials, as well as blade lifespans. Cutting conditions and blade
life may vary according to the quality of the material and conditions of use.
Making the settings for the conditions described below does not automatically guarantee attractive cutting results in all situations. Before
performing actual cutting, be sure to carry out a cutting test and make any necessary adjustments (refer to "3-7 Cutting Test to Check
Blade Force" ). If cutting is incomplete even after using the pen-force scale in the following table to increase blade force by at least three
or four scale marks, it means that the useful life of the blade has ended. Replace with a new blade.
