Cleaning the material end sensor

The material end sensor [21A] is located inside the ma-
terial guide. The sensor must be cleaned of material
and dust residue regularly. The cleaning intervals de-
pend on the material in use.



Clean the sensor arm using compressed air (canned

air is available as an accessory).



If the sensor is heavily contaminated, use cleaning

solvent and a lint-free cloth to clean the sensor.
