NOTE: If the die block will not be removed for additional cleaning
and lubrication, proceed to Section 7.10.
7.6 Removal of the Die Block
Removal of the die block makes it easier to clean and re-grease the blade path, but
it is not absolutely necessary unless the die block has visible adhesives or debris
that require cleaning with solvents. The same tools, solvents and lubricant that are
used on the blade are used on the die block. Remove the blade (see Section 7.3)
prior to removing the die block.
Follow the directions in Section 7.3 for removing the chute, the static control bar
bracket, and the blade. Leave the static bar power cord attached; do not pull on it.
There are eight screws on the face of the
die block. Four of them are coated with a
red locking substance, which is easily
visible when the disassembly process has
reached this point.
Do not try to loosen these four screws
marked with red sealant.
The other four screws (center pair on
either side) are the die block mounting
screws. Remove the die block mounting
screws.
IMPORTANT: If the top and bottom pairs of screws
(the screws marked with a red substance) are
loosened or removed, the die block alignment will
be destroyed.
The blade will not fit properly and will not cut
properly.
This problem cannot be fixed without specialized
factory tools.
