How to Replace the Blade

Do not touch the tip of the blade with your fingers.
Doing so may result in injury, and the cutting performance of the blade will be impaired.
If the blade becomes dull, replace it with the included replacement blade.
The blade is a consumable item that will eventually wear out. For more information about the useful life of the blade,
refer to "8-4 About Blade Life."
