MAINTENANCE
Normal housekeeping procedures should be employed to keep the machine clean and
dry.
Some basic adjustments and maintenance procedures are detailed in the following
pages.
DAILY:
Purge the machine of dust using a suitable vacuum cleaner around the blade and sensor
area or blow out with an airline if safe to do so.
Look under the guard where the board is fed into the machine. The sensors can just be
seen emitting a red light. This area must be kept clean and free from dust and scraps of
paper.
Clear all slotting material and debris away from the outlet chute on the lower, front of
the machine. Never allow the outlet to become obstructed.
Clean the tabletops and guides with a good quality silicone based polish. This helps
reduce friction and makes the machine easier to use.
Failing to polish the tables and guides can cause the board blanks to drag, slip and slew
– this can cause inaccuracies or jamming.
