MAINTAINING AND LUBRICATING YOUR PORT-O-SLITTER
• Keep a light film of protective oil on the SHAFTS, DRIVE GEARS, SET SCREWS, and when not in service, the KNIVES.
Always inspect KNIVES for dirt and other foreign matter before using. Never clean knives while slitter is in operation.
• To clean knives, spread knives then run a soft cloth over the knife surfaces.
• The SLITTING KNIVES can be re-sharpened on a Surface or Blanchard Grinder. Grind ONLY the sides to regain a new
sharp edge. Do not grind the outside radius of the KNIVES.
• Periodically check the squareness of the stationary COIL GUIDE BAR with a framing square against the SHAFTS or
SLITTING KNIVES. Re-square when necessary.
• CAUTION: Always observe safe work practices when cleaning, maintaining and operating this equipment. To avoid injury,
keep your fingers, hands, clothing and other objects away from the SLITTING KNIVES when this machine is in operation.
ACCESSORY INSTALLATION:
Place slitter on a stable bench top
with end extended over edge just
enough to expose the 4 cap screws
underneath the bearing housing.
To reassemble, reverse the following
steps remembering to realign the tie
bar and receiver roller to the bearing
support as you slide it back in place.
Place wooden
shims under each
shaft for support.
Remove the coil table shoulder bolts,
nylon washers and nylox hex nuts. Set
coil table aside. The nylon washers
are of varying thicknesses, reinstall in
the same sequence as removal.
Gently tap bearing support free from
the shafts. At this point the front
receiver roller will dislodge. Set it to
the side. Make sure to reposition it
during reassembly.
After applying a light coating of oil to
all parts and surfaces, slide knives,
or perforating roll set onto shafts far
enough to be able to reattach
bearing support. Align set screws to
shaft flat. As a general rule, always
install perforating set to the end of
shafts.
Remove all 4 cap screws from
underneath bearing support.
Slide the end
cap out of the
bearing support.
Remove the
hex nut from
the tie bar.
Remove the handle cap screws
and washers, set handle and
cover aside.
