Watkiss SpineMaster Operator Guide - Issue 1 - June 2000
5 Maintenance
It is recommended that your SpineMaster is serviced by
an approved Watkiss engineer at six to twelve month
intervals (depending on usage). Please contact your
Watkiss supplier or the manufacturer for further details.
As with all machinery, your SpineMaster will benefit from
regular cleaning to prevent build up of dust and general
dirt.
• Check that the air vents are not obstructed or
blocked. Obstructed air vents will cause the motor to
overheat.
• Once a week, or as required, clean the carriage
roller as explained below.
• Do not use the SpineMaster on booklets where the
ink is still wet. This may result in ink transfer, and
increase the need for cleaning.
Cleaning the Carriage Roller
1. Set the operating mode to Double Pass, and the
Book Thickness Adjustment to maximum.
2. Take a maximum thickness (6.5mm) A4 size booklet,
and wrap a sheet of paper around the outside. Alter-
natively, take about 30 sheets of A3 80gsm paper
and fold into an A4 size booklet.
3. Apply a thin coating of a suitable cleaning product
(see below) to the spine of the booklet.
4. Insert the booklet into the SpineMaster in the normal
way and process about 6 times.
5. Remove the outer sheet, to give a fresh clean sur-
face, and repeat step 4.
Suitable cleaning products include alcohol (isopropanol),
offset litho blanket wash or RS Solvent Cleaner Aerosol
(Watkiss Part No. 951-097). Always observe any health
and safety information supplied with cleaning products.
Cleaning solvents are flammable. DO NOT spray them
directly into the SpineMaster.
