Wherever possible it is our policy to use standard
blades. Each cutter comes with 100 x Medium
Duty Utility Blades, 1 x Scoring Blade and 1 x
Textile Wheel. All of these blades are available
from your distributor.
USING THE UTILITY BLADE HOLDER
Blade depth is important and should be set so
that the blade will cut through the thickness of
material being cut plus 1mm. Avoid setting the
depth too deep so that the blade tip hits the
bottom of the cutting groove.
The utility blade can be located in any one of four
positions allowing materials up to 19mm (3/4”)
thick to be cut. Fine adjustment of the blade
depth can be carried out by undoing the BLADE
CLAMP THUMB SCREW and moving the cartridge
itself.
To cut lightweight materials, place your right hand
on the cutter head, depress the cutter and pull
the cutting head towards you. To cut
heavyweight materials, place your left hand on
cutter bar and apply downward pressure, place
your right hand on the cutter head, depress the
cutter with the palm of your hand and push away
from you to cut. Multiple passes may be needed
for thicker materials.
The cutting head requires no dexterity and can be
easily used with the right and left hands.
