Preparation Before Use

Installing the Blade

  1. Install the blade to the holder.
    1. Insert the pin into the blade holder.
      Insert until the tip protrudes about 3 - 5 mm (0.12 - 0.20 in.).
    2. Insert the blade.
  2. Install the blade holder to the cutting carriage.
    1. Open the front cover.
    2. Loosen the screw on the cutting carriage.
  3. Support the screw from below and insert the blade holder.
    Installing it without supporting the screw from below can adversely affect the cutting quality.
  4. Tighten the screw.
    Tug the blade holder upward to make sure it does not come loose.
    Important

    Leave the cutting-carriage screw loose when no blade holder is installed. Keeping the screw tightened causes the blade-holder insertion hole to become gradually smaller, making installation difficult.
