Cutters and Holders ♦ C2 - 6
Blade Length
CAUTION: Make sure to correctly adjust the blade length. If the blade length is too long for
the thickness of the media being used, you may cut through the cutting mat and
damage your plotter.
Adjusting the Blade Length
1. Retract the blade by turning the blade adjustment knob in a
counterclockwise direction (B direction) until the blade tip is
aligned with the tip of the cutter pen, then extend the blade by
turning the blade adjust knob in a clockwise direction (A
direction) until the blade tip reaches a suitable length.
2. Observe 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. One full turn moves the
blade 0.5 mm.
Obtaining the Correct Blade Length
The blade length should never be greater than the combined thickness of the media and its
backing sheet.
If the media thickness cannot be accurately
determined, adjust the blade length gradually
until only traces of the blade appear on the
backing sheet when a cutting test is executed.
For more information about the cutting test, see “Running a Cutting Test.”
