How to Improve Weeding ability
We recommend that you observe the following points to improve the weeding ability of media.

Select the correct blade for the application.
See the Cutter Blade Manual.

Use blades that are not worn.

Specify a FORCE value that is as low as possible, but that still leaves faint traces on the backing sheet.

Set the SPEED and ACCELERATION values as low as possible.

Weed the cut results right after cutting has been completed.
If time is allowed to elapse, adhesive along the cut edges will cause the edges to stick together.

Select media with good Weeding ability.

Weeding refers to the removal of un wanted areas of vinyl from the background after the media has been cut.
<Supplement>
Weeding is when excess from the cut media is removed from the blade.
Supplement

Finish will become coarser, but the cut time is decreased when the settings for the speed and acceleration is set higher.
Especially with the large media, good cut quality might not be achieved by rumbling media. Decrease the values for the speed and
acceleration settings in that case.

Finish will become good, but the cut time will increase when the settings for the speed and acceleration is set smaller.
