Adjusting the Blade Length
When the blade length is not adjusted in accordance with the label material and cutter blade type to be used,
optimal cut results are not obtained. Adjust the blade length accurately while performing a test cut.
CAUTION
•
To avoid bodily injury, handle cutter blades with care.
•
It may result in damaging the cutter blade or the cutting mat if the blade is extended too much. Make sure the blade length is set less
than the thickness of the media.
