LUBRICATION PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE,
REPAIRS and WARRANTY
1. WARRANTY - The Blitz
™
Code Machine is fully warranted for one year from the date of purchase,
against factory defects in material and workmanship. Mail the Warranty Card and a copy of your
invoice to us immediately, to validate your warranty. Should your machine require factory repairs,
please contact the HPC Service Center before sending in the machine.
During the one year warranty period, you will be billed for handling and shipping only.
2. MOTOR - The motor is equipped with sealed bearings that require no lubrication.
3. CUTTER HEAD - The cutter head is equipped with precision ball bearings for years of trouble free
service and requires no lubrication. The cutter head swivel surface and plunger angle holes should be
given a light coat of LPS#3 or equivalent, once every 4 to 6 months.
4. DEPTH FEED CRANK BEARING - The black Delrin bearing (No. CM-1045) should be cleaned and
a light coat of heavy grease applied when required, in order to maintain itʼs smooth feel.
5. BEARINGS AND SLIDING SURFACES - These are to be given a light coat of a light grease at
least every six months.
6. EXPOSED STEEL SURFACES - All remaining exposed steel shafts, cutter, etc., should be
sprayed with WD-40 or equivalent light oil at least every 6 months. Wipe off any excess.
7. CLEANING - Remove all brass chips, dirt and grit from the surface of your machine daily, with
a soft bristle brush. Take particular care in keeping the key vise jaw area clean and free of all
residue build-up.
8. CODE CARDS - The Code Cards are made of credit card stock and die cut to extremely close
tolerances. Dirt is easily washed off with a mild non-abrasive liquid detergent, such as dishwashing
soap and lukewarm water. Dab lightly with a soft cloth until dry. Never use an abrasive or solvent-
based cleaner to wash these Code Cards!
9. CALIBRATING DEPTH FOR RE-SHARPENED CUTTERS - As cutters become worn, the
alternative to purchasing a new set, would be to resharpen them. (HPC does not resharpen cutters.)
In order to maintain matched cutter diameters, all cutters for this machine must be sharpened at
the same time, and all diameters must be sharpened proportionately. The diameter of a resharpened
cutter is, smaller and therefore will make cuts shallower-if no depth adjustment is made.This is easily
accomplished by rotating the eccentric shaft with a 3/8” open end wrench.
*See depth adjustment section (Section 6.0) for full explanation of the eccentric shaft
adjusting process.
10. DRIVE BELT - The drive belt (No. CM-1083MA) was selected especially for this machine and
should give years of good service. If it becomes worn or broken and requires replacement, be sure
to install the new belt with the teeth outward. Note: The drive belt is somewhat more noisy when it
is made to “cross-over” as the cutter head is swiveled to either the left or right angle when cutting
