Every time a label is cut, residue from the label's glue remains on the cutter blade. This is a normal phenomenon when the Labelmaker is frequently used.
Solution:

the special brush delivered together with the labelmaker
or
a cotton bud and a soft solvent (e.g. alcohol).

Objects (e.g. a piece of tape,...) obstructing the cutter blade's normal operation.
Solution:

If the problem persists, your labelmaker will have to be repaired. Return the faulty labelmaker to your dealer, who will handle the repair procedure from there.
