Special Precautions on Handling Blades
Sharp cutter blades are used with this plotter. Handle the cutter blades and holders with care to prevent
bodily injury.
Cutter Blades
Cutter blades are very sharp. While handling a cutter blade or cutter pen, be careful to avoid cutting your
fingers or other parts of your body. Promptly return used blades to the cutter case provided. When the case is
completely filled, discard the used blades together with the case.
Cutter Pens
The tip consists of a sharp blade. Be sure not to extend it too far. Moreover, when you are not using the cutter
pen, make sure that the blade is fully retracted.
