5.1.3 Cleaning the Y-Guide Rail
There are 4 areas on the Y-guide rail on which the tools carriage slides from left to right.
Two areas (1) are visible on the front side of the guide rail. The other 2 surfaces (2) are on the
back of the guide rail, directly behind the areas that are visible at the front.
Figure 5-4 below shows the areas. Even though the shape of the Y-guide rail may differ from
model to model, the areas are located in the same place at the top and bottom of the
guiding.

5-4 SLIDING SURFACES ON Y-GUIDE RAIL
Over time, there may be some accumulated residue on these sliding surfaces and on the
rollers of the tool carriage.
Cleaning the sliding surfaces of the Y-Guide rail:
1. Switch machine off.
2. Take a soft cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol or mild detergent.
3. Clean surfaces; when the tool carriage is in the way, push it gently to the left or right.
5.1.4 Cleaning the nose piece (tangential machine only)
The nosepiece may accumulate residue from the vinyl that will result in poor cut quality.
The typical indication of a dirty nosepiece is an interruption of the cut line every 12mm
(0.5”).
Cleaning the nose piece:
1. Gently remove the knife by turning the knife holder counterclockwise.
2. Observe the orientation of the nosepiece and then push it out of its holder.
3. Remove any remaining vinyl residue using a brush or a pair of tweezers.
4. Replace the nosepiece.
5. Install the knife as described in section 1.6.2.1.
