7.7 Cleaning the Die Block
Use a solvent suitable for dissolving and removing any adhesive or other residue
from the die block. Do not use any metallic scraper to remove the debris. Use only
cotton swabs and soft wood scrapers. Clean the areas indicated in the illustrations,
and be sure to clean the inside of the blade guides, including the remaining grease
in the grooves of the blade guides. This area can be cleaned using a long cotton
tipped swab. Flatten the cotton tip to make it easier to reach into the grooves. See
the illustration on the following page that shows the grease in the groove.
The blue arrow points to the area on the inside of the die block where adhesives and
debris can collect. This surface works
with the sharp edge of the guillotine blade
to cut the material.
