Adjustment Method To Determine Knife Angle The knife angle significantly affects the cutting quality or sharpness. Changing the angle according to paper quality produces an effect. The standard angle is 22 degrees. For hard paper, however, approx. 25 degrees will be acceptable, and for soft paper, the angle will favorably be approx. 19 to 20 degrees. Reducing the angle to 19 degrees or smaller causes the edge to be nicked.
To Replace Cutting stick Stop the main motor. CAUTION When the knife cuts too deep into the cutting stick and the paper is broken Insert a screwdriver from the left without cutting only on the paper lower end, and take out the cutting stick part, replace the cutting stick with a new while keeping it afloat little by little.
