Replacing The Cutter - MUTOH Falcon Outdoor 46 User Manual

Replacing the Cutter

Depending on the type of roll media used, paper dust accumulating on the cut-
ter groove and cutter tip may lead to poor cutting. In this case, the cutter tip
should be cleaned or replaced and the cutter groove should be cleaned.
The cutter is a consumable item. If it is not sharp, replace it. One cutter
should last for about 1000 cuts (about 20 rolls) so it should be replaced peri-
odically.
Step 1
Switch off the power, lower the hold lever and bring the head to the middle.
CAUTION
• Don't move the head with the hold lever up. The head and
media keeper blade may touch, causing damage and poor print-
ing quality.
Step 2
Hold the cutter down with your finger, turn the cutter arm forward and remove
the cutter. Clean the cutter blade with a dry cloth or replace the cutter.
Cutter Arm
CAUTION
• There is a spring in the hole of the cutter holder. Be careful not
to lose it when the cutter is replaced.
