CUTTING HEAD BEARINGS
The bearings that control the sliding motion of the cutting head
are manufactured from a high grade polymer and under normal
use will last for an extremely long time. As they settle into
position you may find a slight amount of side play, this can be
removed by tightening the two adjustment screws. Do not use
oil or spirits to lubricate or clean the cutter, some of the plastic
components and bearings may be damaged.

CLEANING AND LUBRICATION
It is good practice to keep a dust sheet over the cutter if it is not to be used for extended periods.
In any event regularly clean it with a dry cloth, to remove any stubborn stains use a cloth
dampened with a little water/detergent.
Should the cutting head slideway require lubrication use a silicon spray or impregnated sponge.
THE ALUMINIUM SQUARING
ARM (OPTIONAL)
Attach the Squaring Arm using
the two screws and nuts
provided. When tightening the
screws ensure that the arm is at
right angles to the cutting edge
using a piece of paper or card
cut at 90º, as shown .
To fix the scales in the correct position, place a piece of card on
the Squaring Arm and slide the measuring stop to the back corner
then fasten it in position. Cut the card by depressing the blade
and drawing it through the card smoothly. Measure the width of
the card, and stick down the measuring scale so it reads the
measured dimension at the stop.
