3.2 Adjusting the Blade Length
CAUTION
Be sure to correctly adjust the blade length. If the blade length is too long for the thickness of the medium
being used, you may damage the writing panel and the blade.
Adjusting the Blade Length
(1) The blade length is adjusted by turning the blade adjustment knob (blue, red or
green).
• To extend the blade, turn the knob in the A direction.
• To retract the blade, turn the knob in the B direction.
Use the scale on the plunger cap to determine how far to move the blade.
• When the knob is turned the distance of one scale unit, the blade moves 0.1 mm.
• When it is given one full turn, the blade moves 0.5 mm.

(2) Align the blade tip with the tip of the cutter pen, and then extend the blade tip to suit
the thickness of the medium being used.
Obtaining the Correct Blade Length
(1) Assuming that the film thickness is “t”, the blade length should be equal to “
l
”. Make
sure that “
l
” is never greater than the combined thickness of the film and its backing
sheet.

Backing sheet
If the film thickness cannot be accurately determined, adjust the blade length by
gradually increasing it until only traces of the blade appear on the backing sheet
when a cutting test is executed.
