Maintenance 5-1
5 Maintenance and Cleaning
5.1 Introduction
The S CLASS™ cutter range has a number of sliding surfaces made of smooth metals and
plastics. They are virtually friction-free and require no lubrication. They will, however, collect
dust and lint that may affect the cutter’s performance. Keep the cutter as clean as possible
by using a dust cover. When necessary, clean the unit with a soft cloth dampened with
isopropyl alcohol or mild detergent. Do not use abrasives.
5.1.1 Cleaning the drive system
Over time, the sleeves of the drive drum may become clogged with accumulated residue
from the media liner. This may cause the media to slip between the pinch rollers and the
drive sleeves, decreasing traction.
Cleaning the drive system:
WARNING
KEEP FINGERS AND OTHER BODY PARTS AWAY FROM THE CUTTING AREA. THERE ARE
HAZARDOUS MOVING PARTS.
1. Make sure there is no media loaded in the cutter.
2. Disable the sensors through the cutter’s touch screen (see section on Media sensor:) or
cover them up.
3. Put a pinch roller above the sleeve that needs to be cleaned. Make sure it is the outer
left or the outer right sleeve (otherwise there is not enough pressure).
4. Lower pinch roller and wait until the loading sequence is finished.
5. Pause the cutter (see section on Online/Pause).
6. Press until the sleeve has turned at least one turn.
7. Remove the backing from a piece of vinyl. Push pinch roller up by lifting part 1 and
pushing on part 2 (as in Figure 5-1). Place the piece of vinyl between a pinch roller and
drive sleeve with the tacky side down (Figure 5-2). Release the pinch roller at the back.
