Structure of Cutter Plunger

Adjusting the Blade Length

Blade length needs to be adjusted to perform optimal cut. Perform few test cuts and set the optimal blade length.
CAUTION
•
To avoid bodily injury, handle cutter blades with care.
•
It may result in damaging the cutter blade or the cutting mat if the blade is extended too much. Make sure the blade length is set less
than the thickness of the media.
•
If the blade is extended too much, the cutting mat would be cut out along with the media. As a result, the media may not be fed and
weeded. Be sure to perform the cutting test and adjust the blade length not to cut out the cutting mat.
Supplement
•
Refer to "Running Cutting Tests" for cutting tests.
•
For method to adjust the blade length, refer to " Adjust the Blade Length ".
Adjust the blade length by turning the blade-length adjustment knob. Turn the knob in direction "A" to extend
the blade, or in direction "B" to retract the blade. When the knob is turned by one scale unit, the blade moves
approximately 0.1 mm. One full turn of the knob moves the blade approximately 0.5 mm.
