5.5 Knife Blade Cleaning

Occasionally knife blades will become dirty from buildup of coated tapes affecting
knife performance. This may cause material to loop between the feed and knife
mechanisms. In order to restore knife to original operating condition build up on
blades must be removed.

• Coatings will build up at different number of cuts depending on material

being cut.

• Coatings that are thicker and softer may require more frequent cleaning.
• Woven materials without coatings require less frequent cleaning.
