CAUTION

Be careful when handling the cutter blade to avoid cutting your hands, etc.

An excessive blade depth will damage the cutter blade and cutting mat or lead to wasteful consumption of
media. Keep the blade depth less than the thickness of the media.

CAUTION
Do not turn the cap clockwise (towards 10) from the state where the blade tip is not
protruding (at 0). Similarly, do not turn the cap further counter-clockwise (towards 0)
past the state where the blade tip is protruding by 1 mm (at 10). Doing either of these
may damage the cutter pen.
