8.1.1

Cleaning the grit roll

Cleaning the grit rolls consists out of two parts.
Part 1 is the place where the pressure rollers (1) press the media firmly against the grit rolls
(2). For this reason it is possible that, after some time, the friction drive rolls (2) become
clogged with accumulated residue from cutting media. This can cause slippage of the
material, resulting in inaccurate cuts or incorrect vinyl transport. Therefore it is a good habit to
clean the drive rolls regularly. To do this you can use a brush and rotate the rolls manually to
make sure that they are thoroughly cleaned.
Part 2 is the place where the grit roll is touching the inside bearing. After a while there might
be a trace on the grit roll.
Clean this trace with a polyknit wiper.
