SECTION 3 MAINTENANCE
STARWHEEL MAINTENANCE
After continued use, the starwheel label sensor may become fouled with glue and
the points could become dull enough so that it might fail to catch the leading edge of
a label, thus allowing more than one label to be dispensed. It should be cleaned and
sharpened as follows:
Remove the 3 screws that hold the plastic black cover. Remove the starwheel pivot
assembly and clean the starwheel with mineral spirits, lighter fluid, etc., until the
wheel turns freely. If the points are dull, sharpen by placing the assembly flat on a
piece of crocus cloth or other very fine emery clothes or paper. (See illustration
below). Gently hone the points by moving the assembly in one direction until all the
points are sharp, i.e.. If you do 10 strokes on one side, do 10 strokes on the other
three sides. This will keep the starwheel concentric. Lightly oil the wheel, making
sure it turns freely before reinstalling.
