11.5 Spring
Replacement
Intermec EasyCoder 501 XP & 601 XP – Service Manual
The spring that presses the anvil blade against the rotating shear
may eventually get slack, especially if the anvil blade is forced
open, for example during cleaning. A slack spring must be replaced
as follows:
• Remove the right-hand gable of the cutter (two #T20 Torx
screws).
• Remove the right-hand gable of the cutter mechanism (two
#T20 Torx screws + three Posidrive screws).
• Replace the spring and assemble in reverse order, making sure
to put back all the washers.
