Check the state of cutting.
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.
Adjusting the Blade Force
Examine the result of the cutting test and adjust the blade force accordingly.

After using the control panel to set the blade force, if you want to raise or lower the blade force slightly, you can use the [PEN
FORCE] slider to make fine adjustment.
Move the slider to the right or left to gradually raise or lower the blade force and set it at an appropriate value.
The range of the fine adjustment using the [PEN FORCE] slider is within 30 gf up or down from the value set with the control panel.
When using the control panel to set the blade force, move the [PEN FORCE] slider to its center (default) position.
