Troubleshooting your SL-8:
Problem: The SL-8 is not holding paper correctly.
Solution: Clean out cam slot for full operation!
To improve the cam action of the SL -8 drum, follow these easy instructions:
1) Look for sawdust built up between the cam and the aluminum end cap, opposite the pulley.
2) Put a piece of coarse paper (#20) on the drum. This will force the cams, pawls and springs
away from the end cap.
3) Using a straightened paper clip and an air compressor, clean out the area between the cam
and end cap.
REMOVE ALL THE BUILT UP SAWDUST!
4) Remove the paper and check to see if the cam is touchi ng the end cap.
5) Repeat the process if the cam is not touching the end cap.
This process should be don on a regular basis to assure 100% pressure from the cams, pawls and
springs. If the cams are moving properly and there is still a problem holding pa per, then it is time
to recover the drum. We recommend completing a drum exchange every 2 -3 years, depending on
use. See page 7 for additional information on the drum.
