II. Disassembling the cutter module.
1.
See Figure 20. Hold the cutter module as illustrated. Put your thumbs on the
two wire spring loops (a) and your index fingers on the top of the rear cutter
blade guard (b). It may help to lay the cutter module on a table or other
surface throughout this process.
2.
To remove the rear cutter blade guard, first press down simultaneously on the
two wire spring loops. While pressing down on the loops, press the rear
cutter blade guard back toward you and over the top of the loops. (You’re
trying to tuck the loops underneath the blade guard in this process.)
3.
Continue pressing the rear cutter blade guard toward you and allow the back
edge of the guard to pop up as the guard comes free from its holders. You
may now remove the rear cutter blade guard by lifting it off of the module.
NOTE: The wire springs may flip up out of position during this process.
Springs will be repositioned during reassembly.
4.
Observe the ends of the rear cutter blade guard and note the small metal pins
protruding toward the inside. During the reassembly procedure, these pins
will be mounted into the corresponding mounting slots in the cutter side
panels.
5.
To provide complete access to the area to be cleaned, raise the upper cutter
blade guard (c) as shown in Figure 20.
III. Cleaning the cutter module.
1.
Remove any label material which has adhered to the cutter parts and use a
small brush to remove any paper dust from the cutter module.
2.
If you use pressure-sensitive media, use a lint-free cloth soaked in an adhesive
remover to remove all gum and label residue from the cutting blades and
guards.
If you use tag stock, use alcohol to remove any dirt.
IV. Reassembling the cutter module.
1.
See Figure 21. Position the two wire springs (a) down against the lower cutter
blade.
2.
Place the rear cutter blade guard (b) over the wire springs, perpendicular to its
final position. Place your thumbs on the top (flat) part of the guard.
NOTE: Insure that the ends of the rear cutter blade guard are positioned on the
outside of the cutter side panels.
3.
Press the rear cutter blade guard down and forward, rotating the guard as you
proceed, to lock the mounting pins (c) into position in the cutter side panel
mounting slots (d). Slide the guard forward until the two wire spring loops
pop up on the back side of the Guard.
NOTE: Insure that the wire springs remain positioned under the rear cutter blade
guard when assembly is completed.
4.
Lower the upper cutter blade guard back to its normal position. When
reassembled, the back of the cutter module should look like the one shown in
Figure 22.
