2.14 Adjusting the Blade Length
If the blade length is not adjusted to fit the utilized label materials (media) and cutter blade, it will not be possible to
achieve an optimal cut. After adjusting the blade length manually, run a test cut and adjust further.
• When handling the cutter blades, take full care not to cut your hands.
• If the blade tip extends too far, this may cause damage to the cutter blade and cutting mat.
Keep the blade length below the thickness of the label material.
Refer to "2.15 Cutting Test" with regards to the cutting test.
(1) Align with the tip of the cutter pen, and then extend until it reaches the surface of the label material.

(2) Extend the gradually to the thickness of the label material. A blade length that is lesser than the thickness of the
backing sheet matched to the film, and greater than the thickness of the film is optimal. Try cutting the film, and
adjust so that there are cutting trace marks in the backing sheet. If the backing sheet has been completely cut,
increase the blade length if it is too short and there are remaining cuts in the film.

• The blade length is adjusted by turning the blade length adjustment knob. Turn the blade clockwise
to lengthen the blade; turn counterclockwise to retract. The blade extends ap. 0.1 mm for every
