MAINTENANCE
The Cutters are designed to be maintenance free but occasional cleaning and lubrication of the sliding bearing track
will ensure your cutter stays in peak operating condition:-
•
Cleaning – Warning :- Please do not use solvent cleaners or mineral oil anywhere near any plastics
which includes the slide bearings and track. Slightly dampen a cloth with water and wipe away any
accumulated dirt. A little detergent may be necessary to remove stubborn greasy marks.
•
Lubrication - Warning :- Please do not use oil, it can destroy plastics, use a silicone lubricant or silicone
release fluid preferably aerosol and lightly apply to the sliding track. Wipe away all wetness with a dry cloth to
avoid attracting and retaining dust. The silicone impregnates the hard anodised surface of the track and will
lubricate for a long time without renewal.
Do not touch the edges of the circular knives or the fixed blade, they are sharp.
Cleaning Inside the sliding cutter head.
Paper, card and self-adhesive materials produce dust and
debris. In extreme circumstances it may be necessary to
clean the inside of the sliding cutter head in order to restore
free running of the circular knives. To remove the Cutter
Head Cover release the two 'snap on' fixings by pressing a
small screwdriver into the slot (A) while gently lifting the end
of the cover as it is released. Repeat for the other end (B) as
shown. The Cover can then be lifted off and the Cutter
Head cleaned.
DO NOT TOUCH THE EDGES OF THE CIRCULAR KNIVES, THEY ARE EXTREMELY SHARP.
To replace the Cover, align with the Cutter Base and push down, the two 'Snap on' fixings should snap into place,
check the Cover is firmly fixed in position.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE CUTTER IF THE SLIDING HEAD COVER IS REMOVED OR

Maintenance
The bearing blocks are adjustable. If the cutting head feels loose on the track
adjust the screw in each bearing block (as shown) with the hexagon key provided.
Turning the key clockwise will remove excess movement. A little movement is
acceptable to ensure free running of the sliding block.
INCORRECTLY FITTED, SERIOUS INJURY COULD RESULT.
