Cleaning the Blade Holder Cap

When a blade holder has been used for many hours, the bearing that supports the blade deteriorates, making it more difficult for the blade to turn. If you continue to use a blade holder that has deteriorated in this fashion, the machine will not cut cleanly because the tip of the blade will not turn smoothly. Also, if pieces of material or dust build up inside the blade holder cap, corners and curves will not be cut cleanly or the cuts will be perforated lines. In this situation, clean the blade holder cap.
CAUTION

Never touch the tip of the knife.

Doing so may result in injury. The cutting performance of the blade will also be impaired.

Loosen the cap to remove it, and remove any buildup of material or dust inside the cap.

MEMO If cleaning the blade holder cap fails to improve cutting, replace the blade holder with a new one.
