Cleaning The Heavy-Duty Cutter Assembly - Intermec 4630 User Manual

Cleaning the Heavy-Duty Cutter Assembly

The heavy-duty cutter uses self-sharpening
blades that require a minimal amount of
maintenance and provide a life expectancy
of one million cuts. However, during cutter
operation, the cutter blades collect adhesive
and produce dust and paper particles. The
cutter blades must be cleaned periodically to
ensure proper performance of the cutter
assembly. Use the following guidelines,
based on the media that is cut, to determine
a maintenance schedule for the cutter
assembly:
•
Media backing—clean after every
150,000 cuts.
•
Media with adhesive and tag media—
clean after every 30,000 cuts.
To clean the cutter assembly
1. Open the cutter assembly, disconnect the cutter power cable, and remove
the cutter assembly from the cutter mounting bracket.
2. Remove the Phillips screws from the back of the cutter assembly and then
remove the cover.
3. Use a cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol to clean the cutter
blades of adhesive buildup.
Warning
Use extreme caution when cleaning the cutter to avoid cutting yourself.
