MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
1. Be sure the baseplate rollers are kept lint free.
2. Be sure the terminal pins on the terminal block are in
good condition to make full contact with the female
receptacle.
3. Inspect the operating switch periodically for full contact
when in the ON position.
4. When replacing the knife on this cutting unit, remove
any lint build-up between the knife and the standard.
5. If the cutting unit seems to lag while not cutting, the knife
should be removed and the unit should be run without
the knife to see if the machine has been overgreased
or if there is an obstruction somewhere.
OPTIONAL
The RS2 Rubber Slitter has been designed for quick and
easy conversion between the standard Baseplate and the
optional Strip Gauge. To make the conversion; disconnect
the power attachment plug. Remove (5) screws, (308C15-
2) and (308C15-3) between the bracket and standard. The
new strip gauge can now be mounted using the same (5)
screws and ready for use in minutes as shown on page 18.
Strip gauge operation is identical to that of the standard
Baseplate with the added advantage of a Strip Gauge for
cutting strips up to 11" wide and
1 1/2" thick.
KNIFE SHARPENING
Take the machine out of material to be cut. Switch machine
to ON position, note setting of variable speed and increase
speed to full capacity. To obtain a fine, keen edge on blade,
press lightly on sharpener lever with a constant pressure.
Hold lever until blade is sharp, then release. Return vari-
able speed setting to cutting speed.
TO REPLACE THE KNIFE
Loosen thumb screw and slide guard to upward position.
Turn the knife so the small hole lines up with hole in the
standard and insert knife removal pin (17C11) into hole.
Loosen three (3) setscrews in the locknut and remove the
locknut that retains the blade with the special spanner
wrench (95C1-13). When installing a new knife, be sure
the name Eastman Machine Company is facing outward
and the knife seats on the knife gear. Install knife locknut
and secure setscrews. Secure guard in operating position.
Refer to page 13 for replacement knives.
CAUTION:
Discard used sharp knives with care.
CAUTION
Do not use sewing machine oil or detergent oil. It is
entirely too light for cutting machine lubrication. For
best results use specially compounded Eastman Oil.
Do not oil Base Plate Rollers.
