Cleaning; Applying/Buffi Ng Roller Replacement - 3M -Matic 8000a Instructions And Parts List

Maintenance

Cleaning

Regular slotted containers produce a
great deal of dust and paper chips
when conveyed through taping
heads. If this dust is allowed to
build-up on the heads, it can cause
wear on the moving parts.
Excessive dirt build-up should be
wiped off with a damp cloth.
Cleaning should be done once per
month, depending on the number
and type of boxes used. If the boxes
used are dirty, or if the environment
in which the heads operate is dusty,
cleaning on a more frequent basis
may be necessary.
Note – Never attempt to remove
Applying/Buffi ng Roller
Replacement
Replacing roller requires removal
of shaft and mounting screws.
With no area on the shaft to grip,
the shaft often turns when attempt-
ing to remove the second screw.
To ease removal of second screw,
a 5mm hex socket has been
provided at the bottom of the
threads in both ends of the shaft.
Insert a 4mm hex key wrench into
this socket after removing one
screw to hold the shaft for removal
of the second screw.
See Figure 4-2.

causing moisture condens-
ation on components.
Serious equipment damage
could result.
