General Maintenance Tips
With care and frequent cleaning, the Gemini Pro Cutter will remain in proper adjustment and will
perform as expected indefinitely.
The most important maintenance requirement is wiping the machine frequently with a dry cloth.
No oil or synthetic lubricants should be used or the plastic components could be damaged.
Silicone lubricant spray can be used on the Cutting Head Track, if necessary.
CAUTION: Remove the blade before cleaning the machine.

Adjusting the Cutting Head
The bearings that allow the Cutting Head to slide are
made of quality materials and will last a long time.
Normal use will cause them to settle into position, and
they might develop a slight amount of movement side-to-
side. Tighten the Head Adjustment Screws in order to
eliminate this.
To avoid over tightening, slide the Cutting Head slowly
while tightening to ensure that it slides smoothly.
