Adjusting the Blade Length

Blade length needs to be adjusted to perform optimal cut.
Perform several test cuts and set the optimal 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.
For PHP35-CB09-HS/PHP35-CB15-HS, when the knob is turned the distance of one scale unit, the cutter
blade moves approximately 0.1 mm. When the knob is given one full turn, the cutter blade moves 0.5 mm.
For PHP34-CB30-HS, when the knob is turned the distance of one scale unit, the cutter blade moves
approximately 0.2 mm. When the knob is given one full turn, the cutter blade moves 0.8 mm.

How to adjust the blade length
(1) Align the blade tip to the tip of the cutter pen, and make it touch the surface of the media.
(2) Extend the blade little by little to the thickness of the media.
Optimal blade length is less than the thickness of film and backing sheet combined, but more than the
thickness of the film.
Try cutting the film, and adjust so there is slight cutting on the backing sheet. If the backing sheet gets
cut completely, reduce the blade length, and if the film does not get cut completely, increase the blade
length.
