Cleaning the Knife Drip Guard
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.
Liquid material can drip from the knife of the separation unit during
operation and accumulate on the knife drip guard. The drip guard
needs to be cleaned or alternatively changed each time the material is
changed to avoid mixing different materials.
Required Accessories
Safety gloves, isopropanol, paper towels, brush/small brush
