Abstract
A cutting device includes: a cutter blade movable between a retracted position and a cutting position; a cutter cradle facing the cutter blade; and a first lever and a second lever those operated by a user. The cutter blade performs one of a half-cutting operation and a full-cutting operation with respect to a cut target when positioned at the cutting position. The cutter cradle is movable between: a full-cutting position where the full-cutting operation is performed by the cutter blade; and a half-cutting position where the half-cutting operation is performed by the cutter blade. When the first lever is operated, the cutter blade is moved to the cutting position while the cutter cradle remains at the half-cutting position. When the second lever is operated, the cutter blade is moved to the cutting position and the cutter cradle is moved between the full-cutting position and the half-cutting position.
