Cutting Stick Adjustment & Replacement; Maintenance & Care - Tamerica TPI-4900E Manual De Usuario

Cutting Stick Adjustment & Replacement
Follow the instructions below on how to rotate the cutting stick. Keep in mind that it is necessary
to rotate the cutting stick whenever the cut mark or indentation becomes too deep. Otherwise,
your cutter may encounter cutting quality issues even with a razor sharp blade installed. The cut-
ting stick can be rotated a total of 8 times.
1. Use a flathead screwdriver to push the cutting stick towards the left-hand side of the machine
then prop it up to free it from the shim channel.
2. If it is too tight and will not release, you will have to pull the feed tray out by removing the
screws (Phillips) to access the cutting stick holder which will have to be removed as well by
first loosening the allen screws.
NOTE: You may again have to adjust the blade depth after cutting stick rotation/replacement if
you did so prior to this operation. Failure to do so may result in the blade and cutting stick both
wearing out easily.
Maintenance & Care
1. Designate a specific time to lubricate and clean your TPI-4900E which should be done once
every month. If you schedule it with regularity, the chances of you forgetting to do so will
greatly be minimized.
2. Never use motor oil. Use only Lithium grease for bearings and MOLY grease for parts that rub
each other. (see next page for parts that need regular greasing)
3. Ensure the cutter is in proper adjustment at all times. It makes perfect sense to help ensure
uninterrupted use.
4. Do not allow the blade to cut deep into the cutting stick. It should only be enough to sever
the bottom sheet.
5. Your TPI-4900E is designed to cut paper. Avoid cutting anything thicker and make sure they
are free of staples, wires and other binding materials that may damage the blade.
