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 performance of the cutter. 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.
5.2 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 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. Put the cutter offline .
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. Place the piece on vinyl between a pinchroller and drive sleeve with
the tacky side down. Release the pinchroller at the back.
