Blade Force

DOWN UP

Check the state of cutting.

(1) Peel off the round section (marked by ).

When it can be peeled by itself, without disturbing the

square (marked by ), the blade force is set

appropriately.

(2) Remove the square section (marked by ).

The optimum blade pressure is correct if you can clearly

make out the lines left by the blade.

For Materials with a Strong Adhesive Layer

If you are using a material with a strong adhesive layer, the adhesive layer may adhere to itself immediately when cut. This

means that even though the material has actually been cut, it may appear as if it has not been cut, and blade force may mistak-

enly be set too high.

If a cutting test shows that the material peels easily and the blade traces on the carrier paper are optimal, then the material

is being cut. Take care not to set the blade force excessively high.

Adjusting the Blade Force

Examine the result of the cutting test and adjust the blade force accordingly.

After using the operation panel to set the blade force, if you want to raise or lower the blade force slightly, you can use the [PEN

FORCE] slider to make fine adjustment.

Move the slider to the right or left to gradually raise or lower the blade force and set it at an appropriate value.

The range of the fine adjustment using the [PEN FORCE] slider is within 30 gf up or down from the value set with the operation

panel.

When using the operation panel to set the blade force, move the [PEN FORCE] slider to its center (default) position.

Set the [PEN FORCE] slider at the center (default )

position.

Press the [FORCE] key to display the screen in the

figure.

Use the [ ] and [ ] keys to adjust the numerical

value, and press the [ENTER] key to enable the

setting.
