Otherwise, you could be injured by abrupt activation of the machine, Do not touch the edge of the blade. You may be injured. 41 Machine Preparation Adjusting the Cutting Pressure Cutting depth is adjusted by changing the blade pressure (cutting pressure). The blade may cut too much or fail to cut depending on the type of material, temperature, and so on. Therefore, we recommend advance testing and adjustment of the cutting pressure, An appropriate cutting pressure leaves a slight trace on the release liner. nif the tape is not properly cut and cannot be peeled off, the cutting pressure is set too low. Increase the dial value, in steps of half a graduation, so that the tape will be cut properly. Adjust the cutting pressure before use. cutting tool (blade). CAUTION _ }
Oo Continuing to use the machine with excessive cutting pressure can reduce the service life of the It would also cut the release paper and could cause the machine to malfunction. ulf the release paper has also been cut (as far as the back of the release paper), the cutting pressure is too high. Decrease the dial value, in steps of half a graduation until the release paper is no longer cut.
