Cleaning
Keencut machines are designed to be virtually maintenance free, however we do recommend regular
cleaning. Do not wipe the squaring arm channels or remove any debris with fingers, as it may contain
sharp particles such as glass. Use a vacuum cleaner if possible or if a soft brush is used, work slowly and
do not allow particles to flick off of the bristles.
Lubrication
The slideway can be cleaned and lubricated occasionally using a silicone lubricant. Removing any excess
with a cloth.
The multi-cutter assembly may require dusting out periodically do not lubricate or adjust without seeking
further advice from your distributor or Keencut.
Adjusting the sliding bearings
1.
Attach the balance weight (if fitted, see page 6.2) to the other cutting head, hold the cutter at waist
height and place a 2mm Hexagon wrench on the top adjustment screw. Move the cutting head up
and down and tighten the screw very gradually until the cutting head does not fall under its own
weight. Loosen the screw by the smallest amount you can until it does fall under its own weight.
repeat the process with the other three adjustment screws
.
Adjusting the Clamp pressure
2.
The pressure of the clamp is in relation to the amount of pressure applied to the operating handle.
However in time the maximum clamping pressure can reduce due to wear on the friction block
(hidden within the machine), compensation for this can be made by adjusting the two small grub
screws
in the operating handle housing as shown. Turning the screws clockwise will increase the
maximum clamping pressure.
DO NOT USE OIL ON ANY PART OF THE MACHINE
Except glass cutting oil on the glass cutting wheel only
