Replacing Consumable Parts

Blade

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

• The tip of the blade is broken.
• Uncut areas remain even though the blade force has been increased to 50 to 60 gf.
• The cutting edge is dull.
• The material starts to curl up from the carrier paper when cutting detailed areas or corners.
• The tip of the blade has worn down due to long-term use or cutting hard material.

Blade holder

After the tip of the blade has been adjusted, the cap of the blade holder rubs against the material when cutting, causing the end of the cap to gradually wear away. As the cap becomes increasingly worn it becomes impossible to adjust the tip of the blade correctly, and clean cutting is no longer possible. When this happens, replace the blade holder with a new one.

Blade protector

In the cases below, replace the blade protector.

• The surface of the blade protector is deformed due to scratching or similar damage.
• The blade protector has deteriorated to the point it is falling apart.
