Chapter 5: Basic Maintenance
This chapter explains the basic maintenance (i.e. cleaning the cutting plotter) required for the
cutting plotter. Except for the below mentioned, all other maintenance must be performed by a
qualified service technician.
5.1: Cleaning the Cutting Plotter
In order to keep the cutting plotter under good condition and best performance, you need to clean
the machine properly and regularly.
Cleaning Precautions
• Unplug the cutting plotter before cleaning.
• Never use
solvents, abrasive cleaners or strong detergents
for cleaning. They
may damage the surface of the cutting plotter and the moving parts.
Recommended Cleaning Methods
• Gently wipe the cutting plotter surface with a lint-free cloth. If necessary, clean with a damp
cloth or an alcohol-immersed cloth. Wipe with water to rinse off any residue and dry with a soft,
lint-free cloth.
• Wipe all dust and dirt from the tool carriage rails.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to empty any accumulated dirt and media residue beneath the pinch
roller housing.
• Clean the platen, paper sensors and pinch rollers with a damp cloth or an alcohol-immersed
cloth, and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Wipe dust and dirt from the stand.
5.2: Cleaning the Grit Rollers
• Turn off the cutting plotter, and move the tool carriage away from the area needed to be
cleaned.
• Raise the pinch rollers and move them away from the grit rollers for cleaning.
• Use a bristle brush (a toothbrush is accept-
able) to remove dust from the drum surface.
Rotate the roller drum manually while cleaning
(Figure 5-1).
