Fine-tuning the Blade Force

After you set the blade force using the [FORCE] menu, you can further fine-tune the blade force using the PEN FORCE
slider. You operate this when you want to make the blade force slightly larger or smaller than the setting made using
the menu.
Before you set the blade force using the [FORCE] menu, be sure to first move the PEN FORCE slider to its center setting
(at "0" on the scale).

of blade extension.
A change in extension of 0.5 mm can be made by rotating
