The cutting conditions and the service life of the blade change according to the media and the operat-
ing environment, even when you're using identical blades. The service life also differs according to the
type of blade. A rough guide is shown below.

guide)

MEMO
When uncut areas remain even when the blade force is increased to a value that is higher by 50 to 60 gf than the
values shown in this chart, then replace the blade.
