8.0 Oil and Grease
Turn the power off and disconnect the power cord. Open the top hood for access. Parts requiring
oiling are marked with red paint. See figures Figure 26 through Figure 33 starting on page 39 for oil
and grease locations. Figure 26 through Figure 28 require the knife and clamp be in the up position.
Figure 29 through Figure 33 require the knife and clamp be down. Wipe off any old or excess grease.
Use any brand-name type of grease or light oil to lubricate. It may be necessary to use the supplied
grease brush to access some locations. Note: the leadscrew may be lubricated with grease or oil.
Oil has a tendency to run off and must be lubricated more frequently; grease tends to collect paper
dust and must be cleaned off periodically.
