Take the knife holder apart for cleaning. To do so, proceed as follows:
•Fold the knife guard (9) and ejector (84) downward.
•Rotate the clamping lever (11) of the lateral dis- placement forwards and pull it out sideways.
•Push the knife holder base plate (86) with the pressure plate (83) until it can be removed from the segment arch (87).
•Rotate the blade clamping lever (10) down- ward and pull it out sideways.
•Remove pressure plate (83).
•Clean all parts of the knife holder.
If several knife holders are cleaned at the same time, the parts must not be mixed up!
For cleaning and removal of paraffin, do not use xylene or cleaning fluids con- taining alcohol (e.g. glass cleaner).
•Dry knife holder and reassemble.
•After cleaning the moving parts, apply a thin coat of drive part oil to them (see also Chapter 8.2.3).
•When installing the pressure plate (83), ensure that the upper edge is parallel to and level with the rear edge of the knife holder base (86) (see also Fig. 38, Page 45).
