When you want to perform accurate adjustment of the cutting-in amount, such as when cutting material with thin carrier paper, you can obtain good results by adjusting the amount of blade extension.
Turn the cap portion of the blade holder to adjust the amount of blade extension.



    		An adjustment of 0.5 millimeters can be made by rotating the cap one full turn.

     

General Guide for Amount of Blade Extension

Use the following formula as a rough guide for setting the amount of blade extension.

Amount of blade extension = thickness of material + (thickness of carrier paper/2)
    		1: Amount of blade extension (which approximately equals the cutting-in amount)
    2: Material portion
    3: Carrier paper portion
    4: 1/2 of the carrier paper
