1. Maintenance
1.1 Cleaning and lubricating
Cleaning - Keencut design machines to be as maintenance free as possible, however we do recommend regular cleaning.
Do not wipe the squaring arm channels or remove any debris with fingers, as it may contain sharp particles such as glass.
Use a vacuum cleaner if possible or if a soft brush is used, work slowly and do not allow particles to flick off of the
bristles.
Lubrication - It is important that the correct lubrication is used as ordinary oils and solvents can adversely affect plastics,
the diagram above shows the best lubricants for the various parts of the machine. Do not use penetrating oils for
lubrication on this machine.
Wipe the guide rods and rollers using cleaning solvent on a cloth,
and lubricate the surfaces very lightly with petroleum jelly. The
axles of the rollers are lubricated and sealed for life and need no
further attention.
Use a light oil (3 in 1) on the ratchet system, one or two drops on
the pivot point and one drop on the
ratchet teeth
Silicon Lubricant can be sprayed in from the top of the balance
weight opening whilst the cutting head is parked at the top of the
machine
