Before making your project, perform test/trial cut with the same material.
For details, refer to How Do I Perform Trial Cutting for Roll Feeder? (Test Cut).
- Be careful not to increase the pressure too much. Otherwise, the blade may break. If the pressure is too strong, the material may not be cut cleanly.
-
If the blade penetrates the material, faint cut marks may remain on the machine's surface where the blade makes contact (1). In that case, cutting may no longer be performed correctly. Contact Brother Customer Service or Brother authorized service center.
(1) Blade makes contact
Solution 3
Check that the blade is loose.
If it is loose, turn the cap to the right to tight it securely.
