Loosen the screw and pull out the blade holder.
1
Rotate the tip of the blade holder in the direction shown in the
2
figure to extend the blade. Turning the tip by an amount cor-
responding to one large scale gradation extends the blade by
0.1 mm (0.00394"). The amount of blade extension when
shipped from the factory is 0.1 mm (0.00394").
It is possible to check the cutting quality of the material without installing the blade holder. However, this method is used as a guide to
avoid extending the blade too far. After using this method to make adjustment, be sure to perform a test cut to verify the cutting quality.
Place the piece of cardboard serving as the cushion on a
3
level surface, then lay the material on top of the cardboard.
Grasp the blade holder, and holding it vertically, place it
against the material.
* Use a scrap of the material to be cut.
If the material is cut through completely with the blade leav-
4
ing only a faint trace on the backing paper, then adjustment is
finished.
Insert the blade holder and tighten the screw.
5
Changing the blade
If the material is still not cut attractively even after adjusting the blade extension and performing test cutting several times, the blade tip
may be broken. Replace it with a new blade.
Press the push-pin and remove the old blade.
1
Insert the new blade firmly until it clicks into place.
