3. MECHANISM DESCRIPTION
3.1.1 Replacing the Cutter Arm and Clutch
If a moving portion of the arm or the clutch is distorted by wear, purchase the Arm and Clutch Kit from TEC
Parts Dept. and replace them. Doing so will prolong the cutter life.
NOTES:
1. Apply grease when replacing the parts.
2. Cutter unit components except above are unavailable.
3. Please purchase 10 sets or more at one order.
Replacing procedure
1. Remove the P-4x12 screw to detach the arm.
2. Remove the S-3x4 screw to detach the clutch.
NOTE: When removing the S-3x4 screw, use a straight hex. wrench.
3. Secure the new clutch with the S-3x4 screw so that the screw is perpendicular to the section of the D-
cut power shaft of the cutter motor.
4. Turn the power on and move the clutch to the home position.
5. Insert a 2.8-mm thick clearance gauge between the fixed and swing cutters (right end) and secure the
new arm with the P-4x12 screw. A clearance gauge must be made of plastic or something which will
not damage the cutter edge.
6. Activate the cutter and check that the clutch is in the home position, as shown in the following figure.
If it is not, do over from step 3.
