3.4.8 Prevent Knives From Becoming
Deeply Scored
Your knives are made in such a way that they are
"self--clearing" and, theoretically, they should never
touch each other at the cutting edges. They are
made to set very close but should not bump or rub
in operation.
However, it is possible to set them so they do rub
(or possible for grit or foreign matter to get
between them); therefore, it is possible that they
will begin to score.
ANY TIME YOU NOTICE A "SCORE LINE"
APPEARING, STOP THE MACHINE AND CHECK
FOR A BURR.
A small burr, caught in time, will not hurt the cutting
ability of the tab cutting knives. But, a small burr
will eventually work up to become a large burr and
will score the knives deeply. If such a burr is not
removed at once, it will:
Keep getting larger and score the knives
deeper until they cannot be repaired.
A burr will prevent you from setting knives
properly since it will not let you set them close
enough.
Cause poor cutting and ragged edges at cut.
NOTE!
Therefore, when you see a "score
line", contact Scott Office Systems
for information concerning knife
sharpening policy and return
procedures.
