NOVELTY - The device has multiple frame bodies (7, 8) rotatably supporting a lower blade shaft (2). A guide (9) of the frame body supports a separate upper blade holder (6) in a direction parallel to an axial direction of the lower blade shaft for position adjustment. A unit part (1) comprises the lower blade shaft and the separate upper blade holder, which is moved forward or backward with respect to a predetermined location of the device. An upper blade (5) consists of a round blade that carries out shearing cutting of a sheet-like article (4) cooperating with a lower blade (3).    USE - Device for cutting a sheet-like article e.g. synthetic resin sheet, battery lamination sheet and aluminum foil.    ADVANTAGE - The unit part comprises the lower blade shaft and the separate upper blade holder, which is moved forward or backward with respect to the predetermined location of the device, thus easily achieving high accuracy, setting the lower blade and the upper blade to desired positional relationship, and performing clearance cut and contact-pressure cutting to the lower blade and the upper blade in an easy manner in a preferable form even if setting the contact-pressure cutting the upper blade in an easy manner to desirable inclination and existing in still more nearly micro contact-pressure force, and hence performing positioning and adjustment to outside arrangement, improving productivity of the sheet-like article considering time in which a setting and adjustment require as outside of range of production time of the belt-shaped sheet-like article, and quality of the cutting part of the cut sheet-like article, and achieving detection and adjustment with high accuracy.
