Cutter Blade Maintenance
The cutter blade must raise when the handle is
pulled to allow the tape to process underneath.
The blade must therefore raise and return
without restriction. Should the blade not raise
when the handle is pulled, check the following:
1. Remove the water bottle
2. Remove the brush pot assembly
3. Remove the upper guide plate
4. Advance the pull handle slightly to lift the
cutter blade
5. Observe to see when the blade raises that
there is no hesitation or delay.
6. Observe to see that there is sufficient
clearance between cutter blade and the tape
guide to allow the full tape width to pass
through unrestricted
7. If there is not enough clearance, remove the
right side cover.
a. Remove four 6mm screws with a 3mm
hex key
b. Remove the pull handle with a 5mm
hex key and a 17mm wrench
8. Observe the cutter blade lifting spring. When
the handle is pulled, the spring should raise
the cutter blade.
9. Replace spring if necessary
10.
Replace side cover, pull handle, upper
guide plate, brush pot assembly and
water bottle
