Handling Precautions
To use the product correctly, as well as to obtain better cutting results, be sure to read the following points
thoroughly before use.
Note
•
To avoid bodily injury, handle blades with care.
•
Physical damage to a new machine caused by customers will not be covered by the warranty, so
unfortunately, we cannot offer you a product replacement.
Always make a test cut before cutting
If cutting conditions, such as blade depth, force, and speed, are not appropriate, the blade tip may break, or the
machine may be damaged. Furthermore, the expected cutting results may not be obtained, and the media may
be wasted.
Optimal cutting conditions vary depending on the thickness and quality of the media used and the degree of
wear of the blade.
Make a test cut every time you change the media.
Guideline for blade depth
Appropriate blade depth
= Film thickness +
α
Release paper thickness
Film thickness
Does not cut through the film
The most important setting in cutting is to adjust the blade depth.
Adjust the blade depth so that the blade protrudes slightly more than
the thickness of the media to be cut.
When cutting the cutting film, extend the cutter blade more than the
film, but not so much that it penetrates the release paper.
Use the cutting mat for the following circumstances
Be sure to use the cutting mat when cutting the following media.
Failure to use the cutting mat may damage the machine.
• When cutting media that do not have release papers
• When cutting out media (die cut)
Cut through to the release paper
