If the results of steps 1 and 2 show that the cutting quality is not acceptable, refer to "Adjusting the Blade Force" to adjust the blade
force.
If adjusting the blade force doesn't improve the cutting quality, refer to "Adjusting the Blade Extension" to adjust the blade extension.
After adjusting the blade extension, carry out a cutting test and adjust the blade force.
If the results of step 3 show that the blade offset isn't appropriate, refer to "4-1 Installing a Blade - How to Set the Blade Offset" and
adjust the blade offset.
Adjusting the Pen Force
Set the Pen Force slider at the center (default) position.
Press the

• Use the and keys to move the blinking cursor to the item to be set.
• Then use the
and keys to change the numerical value, and press the
ENTER
key to enable the setting.
After using the control panel to set the pen force, if you want to raise or lower the blade force slightly according to the blade length, you
can use the Pen Force slider to make fine adjustments in the pen force.
Move the slider to the right or left to gradually raise or lower the pen force and set it at an appropriate value.
The range of fine adjustment for pen force using the Pen Force slider is within 30 gf up or down from the value set with the control
panel.
When using the control panel to set the pen force, move the Pen Force slider to its center (default) position.
Adjusting the Blade Extension
The amount of cutter blade extension can be adjusted by rotating the cap. If it is necessary to adjust the amount of blade extension,
remove the blade holder, adjust the amount of blade extension as shown in the figure below, then remount the blade holder on the cutting
carriage.
When using the included material or a general type of equivalent material, the unit should generally be used with the
cap tightened at its highest position (maximum blade extension = 2.5 mm (0.0984")). When cutting material having
base paper that is thin with respect to the material (material thickness), or material having no base paper, the amount
of blade extension should be adjusted so that the blade does not cut through the base paper.

Each indicator tick corresponds to 0.1 mm,
and adjustment for 0.5 mm can be made by

[Adjusting the amount of blade extension]
Perform a cutting test and gradually extend the blade. Take care to
ensure that the amount of blade extension does not exceed the
thickness of the material portion plus the thickness of the base
paper.
If the blade leaves a faint mark on the base paper, the amount of
blade extension is optimal.
