Troubleshooting
Blade is not cutting cleanly
Ensure the blade is securely attached to the handle and is the correct type for your task. If the blade is dull, replace it with a new one.
Difficulty inserting or securing the blade
Check that you are using the correct blade type for your Olfa handle. Ensure there is no debris obstructing the blade slot in the handle and that the blade is aligned properly.
Blade breaks during use
This can occur if too much pressure is applied or if cutting through materials thicker than recommended. Ensure the material is properly supported and adjust cutting pressure. Replace the blade if it shows signs of wear or damage.
