Polar Micro Cut Cutting Maintenance

[Levi M Gibson]

We have an older version of a Polar Cutter equipped with a Micro Cut. Im wondering what kind of regular maintenance schedule should I implement with my bindery on this cutter? Also how often should I blow out my folders. I have one old BAUM and a Fairly new MBO.

Because the Polar cutter including a Mirco cut, is no more working by the original design of the manufacture Polar, you are (confirm to the US law) responsible for the whole safety (concept, design and achievement). In other words, if the supplier of the Micro cut (or the person who changed the cutter) does not have for this job a correct approval confirm to the safety law and organizations inside the US (like OSHA) it is your responsibility to get a safety approval before USING this machine. I think you have in the US specialists for this (ask OSHA). This may cost you some thousand greens. If the safety specialist asks (because the approval is done today and not 10 or 20 years ago) for safety functions confirm to EN1010 (highest known law) you need a new machine. Everything you touch is your risk. So far the law.

Technical wise I would just fix the cutter if it brakes down.

None!
Do you know a machine number or type of the cutter?

I would not spend any money. Let it work. Everyday you are able to use this machine should make you happy. And when it finally brakes down, you probably need help from binderytech.com. They still have parts for older machines.
If you like to be smart put every month some money on the side to get one day a newer machine.
