Cleaning
Keencut design machines to be as maintenance free as possible, however we do
recommend regular cleaning. Do not wipe the squaring arm channels or remove any
debris with fingers, as it may contain sharp particles such as glass. Use a vacuum
cleaner if possible or if a soft brush is used, work slowly and do not allow particles to
flick off of the bristles.
Lubrication
It is important that the correct lubrication is used as ordinary oils and solvents can
adversely affect plastics, the diagram above shows the best lubricants for the various
parts of the machine. Do not use penetrating oils for lubrication on this machine.
1. Guide rods and rollers
Wipe using cleaning solvent on a cloth, and lubricate the surfaces very lightly with
petroleum jelly. The axles of the rollers are lubricated and sealed for life and need no
further attention.
2. Ratchet system
Use a light oil (3 in 1), one or two drops on the pivot point and one drop on the
ratchet teeth
3. Balance weight
Silicon Lubricant sprayed in from the top of the balance weight opening whilst the
cutting head is parked at the top of the machine
4. Ratchet release bar
Smear edge with petroleum jelly
5. Swinging Arm
Petroleum jelly around curved slot.
