Step 2: Install the Blade
CAUTION
Do not touch the tip of the blade with your fingers.
Doing so may result in injury.
1.
Insert a blade into the blade holder.
➊
Turn the blade-holder cap to tighten completely
(tighten until the cap cannot be turned further).
➋
Insert the pin.
Leave the pin inserted.
➌
Insert the blade.
➍
Adjust the amount of blade extension to match
the material.
In this example, to adjust the amount of blade
extension to the test-use material, turn the cap
counterclockwise until the blade is extended by
about 1 millimeter.
A change in extension of 0.5 mm can be made by ro-
tating the cap one full turn.
When You're Using a Variety of Materials
Depending on the type of material (such as when you're using material that has thin backing paper), it may become
necessary to adjust the amount of blade extension. Also, when stable cutting results aren't obtained, changing the
amount of blade extension may produce better results. For more information, refer to the page indicated below.
