4.1 Care and Maintenance of Your Cutter

There is no need to oil or lubricate your cutter - simply keeping it clean should
be enough to provide you with many years of service.
Keep the grit rollers and pinch rollers clean. The combination of pinch roller from
above and grit roller from below is what makes your cutting mat or material
move back and forth in a straight line. If one of these parts is greasy or sticky,
you will see the material pull to one side, causing incorrect cutting.
At the same time, you want to be sure that the downward pressure of the
pinch rollers is the same for every roller. Once again, this is to keep the material
straight as it goes through the cutter. Note that the small levers on each pinch
wheel should be in the down position except when extra pressure is needed.
Over time, your cutting strip (the white strip located directly below the path of
the blade) may need to be replaced. Use a flathead screwdriver, putty knife or
other flat blade instrument to pry out the old cutting strip from the groove in
which it sits. You may also need to clean out any old glue or adhesive tape so
that the new replacement strip sits completely flat in the groove. You can order
a new cutting strip from your local PrismCut dealer.
Blades can get dull or chipped over time. In order to maintain precision cuts, it is
recommended that you change to a fresh blade every 6 months, after any major
use period or whenever the blade is dull, chipped or damaged.
