Maintenance and Cleaning 3-1
SECTION 3
GENERAL INFORMATION
3.1. MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
The SummaCut 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 which 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.
3.1.1. CLEANING THE DRIVE SYSTEM
After a time, the sleeves of the drive drum may become clogged with
accumulated residue from the media. This situation may affect traction as the
media will tend to slip between the pinch rollers and the drive sleeves.
è To clean the drive sleeves, proceed as follows:
1. First disable the sensors by covering them, or via the configuration menu.
2. Place the cutter off-line. Local operation will allow you to use the control
panel jogging keys, even when no media is loaded.
3. Remove the backing from a piece of vinyl. Place the vinyl with the tacky
side down between one of the pinch rollers and a drive sleeve. Lower the
pinch roller arm.
4. Use the and jogging keys to move the piece of vinyl backward
and forward several times, until all residue is removed from the drive
sleeves.
5. Raise the pinch roller arm and remove the piece of vinyl media.
6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for the other drive sleeves.
