Adjusting the Blade Extension
The appropriate blade extension differs depending on the material type and thickness. Before installing the holder in the carriage, turn the holder cap to adjust the blade extension, and then perform trial cutting.
Adjust the blade extension to slightly exceed the thickness of the material that will be cut. Use the markings on the holder to make the adjustment.

(1) End of holder cap (2) Material that will be cut (3) Length of blade tip |
Be careful that the blade does not extend too much. If there is too much of a blade extension, the material may not be cut cleanly and the mat will deteriorate quicker.
Use the following table to select the appropriate settings according to the material that will be cut.
