In the cases below, the blade has reached the end of its service life. Replace it with a new item.

  • The tip of the blade is broken.
  • Uncut areas remain even though the blade force has been increased to 50 to 60 gf.
  • Cuts are not as clean as they used to be
  • The material starts to curl up from the carrier paper when cutting detailed areas or corners

The tip of a blade that has been used for a long time or has been used to cut hard material may wear away. A blade that has worn in this manner will no longer cut cleanly, so replace it with a new one.
