Preparing the blade 

TO AVOID INJURY, ALWAYS HANDLE THE CUTTER 

BLADE WITH CAUTION 

Adjust the blade length by turning the blade-length adjustment knob. Turn the knob 
clockwise to extend the blade or counter-clockwise to retract the blade. When the 
knob is turned by one scale unit, the blade moves approximately 0.1mm (knob full 
turn = 0.5mm). 

If the blade is extended too far in relation to the thickness of the medium being cut, it 
will damage the cutting mat. Assuming that the medium thickness is

‘

t

’, the blade 

length ‘

l

’

should be equal or slightly greater than ‘

t

’. Make sure ‘

l

’ is never greater 

than the combined thickness of the medium and its backing sheet.  

Note: if it is not possible to accurately determine the medium thickness, adjust the 
blade length by gradually increasing it until only traces of the blade appear on the 
backing sheet after a cutting test conducted. 

Loading a medium 

•

  Lower the media set lever to raise the push rollers. 

•

  Pass the medium through the RoboPro and align it with the guide lines 

engraved on the machine. Make sure the medium passes over the media 
detecting sensor. 

•

  Adjust the push rollers position to the blue guide marks so medium can be fed 

to the machine (see next page) (CAUTION: be sure the media set lever is 
lowered).
