Maintenance and Troubleshooting
This section describes how to maintain and troubleshoot the cutter unit.
Cleaning
The cutter mechanism becomes accessible when the cover is opened. The
cutter shears will need to be cleaned on a regular basis to ensure optimal
cutting performance.
Use isopropyl to clean the cutter. Be careful to not dissolve the cutter
lubrication.
Do not force the spring-loaded anvil blade open more that 5-10mm
(0.2-0.4 inches), or the spring may be damaged.
Warning: Switch off the power or disconnect the cutter before
cleaning. Keep fingers away from cutting parts!
Caution: Isopropyl alcohol is a highly flammable, moderately toxic,
and mildly irritating substance.
