Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the machine with a damp cloth to remove dust, paint residue, and debris. Ensure the cutting blade area is kept clean for optimal performance.
• Blade Care: Inspect the cutting blade periodically for any signs of dullness or damage. While designed for durability, a clean blade ensures precise cuts.
• Moving Parts: Check wheels, axles, and roller mechanisms for smooth operation. Lubricate if necessary, using a light machine oil.
• Fasteners: Periodically check all nuts, bolts, and wing nuts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as needed to maintain structural integrity.

Troubleshooting

• Paper not cutting cleanly: Ensure the cutting blade is free of debris. Verify that the paper is positioned correctly under the blade and that sufficient pressure is applied when cutting.
• Tape or paper misalignment: Adjust the washers and position of the paper holding rings and tape reels to ensure proper alignment.
• Machine unstable or wobbly: Check all frame connections and fasteners to ensure they are securely tightened. Verify that the wheels are properly installed and secured.
• Difficulty moving the machine: Inspect wheels for obstructions or damage. Ensure axles are clean and lubricated if necessary.
