Troubleshooting
Blade is loose or wobbly.
Ensure the blade tensioning mechanism is fully tightened. Check that the blade is correctly seated in the frame's end slots. Replace the blade if it is damaged or warped.
Difficulty cutting material.
Check blade sharpness and ensure it is installed with the teeth facing forward. Verify the blade tension is sufficient. Ensure you are not exceeding the 35mm cutting capacity or attempting to cut materials harder than intended for light-duty use.
Grip feels uncomfortable or slippery.
Wipe the grip clean with a dry cloth. Ensure your hands are dry before use. For added grip, consider wearing work gloves.
