A Few Tips To Help You Maintain your Cutting Machine And Be Making Many More Projects For Years To Come!
- Dust is the enemy. Dust on the rollers of your cutting machine can cause real problems over time.
- Don’t let Adhesive build up. Over time adhesive can build up on the front and back edge of the machine make sure to regularly wipe this down. Adhesive build up can cause your mat to move during cutting meaning your cuts wont be accurate.
- Keep debris off grit rollers. Sometimes tiny pieces of paper or vinyl can end up on your grit rollers you should regularly inspect them and use some tweezers to remove any debris.
- Wipe down mats. Remember to regularly wipe down your mat with alcohol free wipes to remove any dust or adhesive build up. We have a full guide on cleaning your cutting machine mats you can find it in the cutting machine section of our website.
