Test Pen Holder

 The test pen should be used until you are comfortable with the operation of the KNK Zing and know, with
certainty, where shapes will cut. To assemble the test pen, remove the top cap, slip the spring over the top

the pen insert, allowing the pen insert to fit through the hole at the top of the cap. Screw into place.

 Additionally, there are other tools sold separately, including a fabric blade, engraving tool,
embossing/scoring tool, and pen holder. Details on these are covered in Chapter 10 and in the following
video:

Blade Installation

towel). It’s important to protect the fragile blade!

 The little springs that come with the blades are easy to lose, which is another reason to do this over a towel
so that a dropped spring doesn’t roll off the table. Remove the colored cap from the blade and slide the
spring over the sharp end of the blade:
