Part 6 Maintenance

About the Blade

If the Blade Becomes Dull

- If there is any buildup of media scraps or glue (media adhesive) on the tip of the blade, wipe it off using a soft cloth.

- If the blade becomes dull, try increasing the blade force a little at a time. Increasing the blade force can temporarily improve cutting

performance. If uncut areas or the like still remain, it means the useful life has ended. Replace with a new blade.

Guide to Service Life

The useful life of a blade is determined roughly by the cutting distance.

Conditions such as the thickness, hardness, and adhesive material of the media can greatly affect the service life. You can extend the life of the

blade by setting the blade force to a suitable value that takes into account the relationship between the conditions of the media being cut and

the hardness of the blade.

Blade force that is too high can make the blade wear out prematurely.

Use the chart below as a general guide for appropriate cutting parameters and blade life.

Note that attractive cutting may not necessarily be possible in all cases even when you make the settings for the following parameters. Before

you perform cutting, carry out a cutting test and make adjustments as required.

6.2 About the Blade

About the Media Auto-cutter

Guide to Service Life

The useful life of the media auto-cutter is determined roughly by the number of times it performs media cutoff.

Conditions such as the thickness, hardness, and adhesive material of the media can greatly affect the service life.

As a general guide, consider the useful life of the media auto-cutter to be about 5,000 media cutoff operations when using genuine media

(white or transparent vinyl). If cutting performance becomes poor, contact your authorized Roland DG Corp. dealer or service center.
