GENERAL INFORMATION
3.1. MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
The SummaSign Pro cutter range has a number of sliding surfaces made of
smooth metals and plastics. They are virtually friction-free and require no
lubrication. They will, however, collect dust and lint which may affect the
performance of the cutter. 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.
3.1.1. CLEANING THE DRIVE SYSTEM
After a time, the sleeves of the drive drum may become clogged with
accumulated residue from the media. This situation may affect traction as the
media will tend to slip between the pinch rollers and the drive sleeves.
è
To clean the drive sleeves, proceed as follows:
1.
First disable the sensors by covering them, or via the configuration menu
(see 2.4.12 Media Sensor).
2.
Place the cutter in local operation. (See Section 2.2.2.) Local operation
will allow you to use the control panel jogging keys, even when no media
is loaded.
3.
Remove the backing from a piece of vinyl. Place the vinyl with the tacky
side down between one of the pinch rollers and a drive sleeve. Lower the
pinch roller arm.
4.
Use the
and
jogging keys to move the piece of vinyl backward
and forward several times, until all residue is removed from the drive
sleeves.
5.
Raise the pinch roller arm and remove the piece of vinyl media.
