Cleaning the Knife
CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to sharp objects!
The knife on the separation unit has a sharp edge that
can cause slight hand injuries through direct contact.
–
The edge should never be touched directly.
Only hold the knife by the knurled nuts and with
the blade away from your body.
NOTE!
Wearing protective gloves protects the skin from contact
with skin damaging materials. During work steps in
which you work with printing materials or cleaning
agents, we always recommend wearing protective
gloves.
During the separation process, the knife of the separation unit comes
into direct contact with the component and liquid printing material
adhering to it. The knife needs to be cleaned or alternatively changed
each time the printing material is changed to avoid mixing different
materials.
Required Accessories
Safety gloves, isopropanol, paper towels, brush/small brush (optional)
Preparation
Proceed as follows to prepare for cleaning the knife:
1.
Wear protective gloves on your hands.
2.
Spread out several paper towels on the work surface.
3.
Open the upper hood.
4.
Remove the collection basket and place it on a paper towel.
Caution! Watch out for material dripping from the collection
basket. Hold the basket at a slight angle towards the back to
prevent material from leaking out. Also place a paper towel
directly underneath the basket opening.
5.
Open the knife protection device: Grasp the knife protection
device by the retaining tab and pull it towards your torso as far
as it will go. Now lift the device slightly and pull it completely out
of the machine. (Pay close attention to the pins to the left and
right of the knife protection device while doing so). Set it aside.
6.
Locate the knife in the machine.
7.
Grasp the knife by the black knurled thumb nuts and pull the
knife upwards out of the holder. Then place the knife with the
blade facing downwards on a paper towel.
