8 About the Blade
If the blade becomes dull
When the blade starts to lose its sharpness, try gradually increasing the cutter force.
Increasing the cutter force temporarily allows the blade to perform better. However, once the blade is dull, it is time to replace it.
Average blade life
The life of a blade varies, depending on the amount of cutting it performs.
The total cutting length can vary considerably, depending on the thickness, toughness, and type of adhesive of the cut material. Set an
appropriate cutter force, one that is well matched to the material and the hardness of the blade. This will extend the life of the blade.
Excessive cutter forces can cause the blade to wear out quickly. Care should be taken.
