3-7 Cutting Test
(How to Adjust Blade Force/Adjusting the Cutter Blade)
Before carrying out actual cutting, you may wish to perform a "cutting test" to check whether the unit produces the cutout satisfactorily.
This is done by examining the results of the cutting test, and adjusting the blade force and the amount of blade extension. The cutting test
should be repeated until the appropriate cutting conditions for the material in use are discovered.
If the cutting results are unsatisfactory, first use the pen force control slider to adjust the blade force (see "How to Adjust Blade Force").
To start with, move the pen force control to the left-most indicator mark (minimum blade force).
Increase blade force gradually, until cut quality is satisfactory.
If favorable cutting results are not obtained even after adjusting the blade force, then you should adjust the cutter blade (see "Adjusting
the Cutter Blade"). After adjusting the cutter blade, perform a cutting test and adjust the blade force.
If a material has not yet been loaded, then refer to "3-5 Loading the Material" to load the material correctly.

cutting test is to be performed.
* Note that an area of approximately 2 square centime-
ters (a little less than a square inch) is required to
make a test cutout (given that the tip of cutter after it
has moved is at the origin at lower-left).

(1) First peel off the round section (shaded as shown
- When it can be peeled off by itself, without disturbing the
square, the blade force is set appropriately.
(2) Next, peel off the square, and look at the backing behind it.
- The optimum blade pressure is correct if you can clearly make
out the lines left by the blade.
Adjust the pen force control slider until results as shown above are
obtained. (Gradually increase the cutter force until you reach the
optimum level.)
