15-4. Replacing the Fixed Cutter Blade (Upper Blade) of the Tape Cutter
∗
Replace the fixed cutter blade after the cutter main unit has been detached from the FX-3 main
unit.
1) Detach the cutter cover and cylinder cover. (See 15-3.)
2) Put the movable cutter blade in the closed status. Remove the slitting set screws for
adjustment of the pushing pressure and fixed cutter blade mounting screws. (Pay special
attention so that any spring or bushing is not lost.)
3) Detach the upper blade support to replace the fixed cutter blade.
4) Reassemble the components in the reverse order of disassembly.
5) Adjust the pushing pressure of the fixed cutter blade. (See page 1 of M11_TAPE_CUTTER in
the QA table.)
6) After the fixed cutter blade has been replaced, apply the grease (Alvania grease). For details
about grease application locations and procedures, see section 15-5, Grease up.
7) After the fixed cutter blade has been replaced, assemble the cutter cover. Make the
adjustment so that the cover projects 1 mm toward you from the end face of the cutter base.
8) After the cover has been assembled, readjust the clearance between the guide plate (Teflon
sheet) and movable cutter blade to 0.1 to 0.15 mm.
