SAFETY WARNING
Your cutter uses razor-sharp knives. The knife blades may cause
serious personal injuries if handled without proper care. Use extreme
care when operating the cutter and when installing, removing or
handling the knife!
è To set up your cutter for knife operation, proceed as follows.
1. As shown in Figure 1-4, insert the knife blade into the knife holder using a
pair of tweezers.

2. Set the knife blade length to zero by aligning the blade tip with the tip of
the holder. An easy way of performing this is by holding the knife holder
against your fingertip and gradually increasing the blade length by
turning the adjustment knob until you feel the knife tip touching your
fingertip.
3. Extend the tip of the blade by the distance required for the desired
cutting media (t), as shown in Figure 1-5. The blade should only extend
beyond the knife holder sufficiently far to completely cut through the film
layer, yet avoid penetrating through the backing, which would risk cutting
into and damaging the cutting strip.
