5.1 Cutter Blades (An overview of Blade types)
Your cutter comes with a selection of blades. The blades are packed in a foam
packing material. In addition to this there is a colored rubber protective cap. The
yellow caps indicate 30
blades. Be careful when handling the blade as the cutting end is very sharp. Blades
are selected for different applications; a guide is shown below:
