MAINTENANCE
The S One cutter range has several sliding surfaces made of smooth metals and plastics. They
are virtually friction-free and require no lubrication. They will, however, collect dust and lint
that may affect the cutter’s performance. Keep the cutter as clean as possible by using a dust
cover. When necessary, clean the unit with a soft cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol or
mild detergent. Do not use abrasives.
Over time, the sleeves of the drive drum may become clogged with accumulated residue from
the media liner. This may cause the media to slip between the pinch rollers and the drive
sleeves, thus decreasing traction.
Cleaning the drive system:
1.
Unplug the power cord.
2.
Apply a mild solvent (normally used to remove old glue residue) on the silver-coloured
sleeves and wait for it to dissolve the accumulated residue.
3.
Clean with a brush (a toothbrush is recommended)
4.
Repeat the procedure for all dirty drive sleeves.
