2.4 Blade Installation
Figure 2.4-1 is the illustrator of the blade holder. Insert a blade into the bottom of the blade
holder and remove the blade by pushing the pin. Make sure that your fingers are away from
the blade tip.
Step 1
Install blade (Figure 2.4-2).
Step 2
Push the blade to the bottom of the blade holder. (Figure 2.4-3).
Step 3
Adjust the blade tip to suitable length by screwing
“Blade tip adjustment screw” clockwise or
count-clockwise. (Figure 2.4-4).
Figure 2.4-4
Figure 2.4-3
Tips:
“The proper length” means the blade’s
length is adjusted 0.1mm more than
film’s thickness. That is, if the thickness
of film is 0.5mm, then blade’s length is
properly adjusted 0.6mm and it can
completely cut through the film layer yet
avoid penetrating the backing.

Step 4
Insert the blade holder into tool carriage. Please note the outward ring of the holder must put
into the grooves of carriage firmly (see Figure 2.4-5), then fasten the case (Figure 2.4-6).
Figure 2.4-5 Figure 2.4-6
Step 5 Use the reversing steps to remove the blade holder.
Step 6 Eject the blade. Push “Blade eject pin” to eject blade when the blade needs to be
replaced.
!! Caution
The blade will lose its sharpness after a period of usage; the cutting quality might be affected.
By increasing the cutting force, it might do the trick. However, once the blade is worn out and
no longer provides a reliable cutting, you should replace a new one. The blade is consumable
and must be replaced as often as necessary to maintain the cutting quality. The quality of the
blade deeply affects cutting quality. So be sure to use a high quality blade to ensure good
cutting results.

2.5Automatic Blade Length Detection
Figure 2.5-1 is the new blade holder with a scale and the carriage with a mark. This blade
holder detects blade length automatically and shows how the knob needs to be turned on the
LCM.
There are 10 units on the scale; each unit equals to 0.05 mm, allowing you to adjust the blade length
for 0.00mm-5.00mm (Figure 2.5-2).
Follow the steps below to adjust the length of the blade:
1. Keep the blade tip within the blade holder before you start adjusting.
2. Align one of the scales on the blade holder to the mark on the carriage
3. Select “Blade Length Adjust”under “CUT TEST” on the LCM, enter the blade length
wished in “Set Length”; test the blade holder first and then test the blade length by
pressing ENTER.
Note: Keep the blade holder at the same position when you perform blade holder and blade
length tests.
4. When blade holder and blade length tests are finished, the screen will show you to what
degree (the unit of the value following “CW”or “CCW”is “circle”) and in which direction
[CW (clockwise) or CCW (counterclockwise)] you should turn the adjustment knob.
EG, Turn CW 5 is telling you that you should turn the knob for 5 units clock-wisely (Figure
2.5-3, Figure 2.5-4).

5. The screen will show “Adjustment completes”when the value on the screen is 0, the blade
length is perfect and no more adjustment needs to be made. Press “Enter”now to complete
the process and you may start cutting at this point.
