MAINTENANCE
This machine may only be used for cutting paper or similar materials. Do not use it to cut any hard
substances or material that may splinter. Hard materials such as paper clips and staples will damage the
cutting blade.
Occasionally lubricate and oil the motion parts of the blade assembly. For long-time storage, coat the blade
and the blade carrier with anti-rust lubricant.
This machine must not be placed outdoor. Do not operate the machine in the vicinity of flammable liquids or
gasses.
It is strongly suggested to keep a spare blade kit (QCM-8200B/QCM-8700B) available in case the blade
needs to be sent for sharpening.
Blade Removal and Installation
The blade can be sharpened or replaced. It may only be sharpened by qualified workshops.
Caution: Even a dull blade is a very dangerous item. Extra care must be taken in handling the blade to
prevent personnel injury or blade-edge damage in the process of removal and reinstallation.
Do not handle the blade without hand protection.
Do not transport or leave the blade exposed without proper packaging.
Read all the instructions below carefully before proceeding.
The following instructions are intended for qualified technicians only. Quality Commercial Machines
Corporation assumes no responsibility for any accident or injury incurred while attempting to repair any QCM
