Maintaining the Cutter’s Mate
NOTE:
Keep your Cutter’s Mate from moisture.
Lubricating the Cutting Wheel
.
1.
Untwist and remove the oil reservoir cap (the rubber cap does not necessarily need to be
removed before doing this).
2.
. Fill the oil reservoir with cutting wheel oil (available at your local stained glass distributor)
3.
Replace the oil reservoir cap, and you are ready to cut glass
Lubricating the Cutters Mate
The pivot points may need occasional lubrication. After about 100 hours of use, or approximately every
three months, use a light-weight oil such as sewing machine oil to lubricate the pivot points (refer to
the illustration on page 6). Only a couple of drops at each pivot point is necessary. To apply the oil, you may
find it easier to disconnect the arm from the slide and shaft and lay it on its side
Cleaning the Slide Shaft
If you notice the slide plate is not moving smoothly along the slide shaft, wipe it with a dry, soft cloth.
NOTE:
Never use oil on the slide shaft. This will cause the nylon bushings to become sticky.
