7. Care and maintenance
The Leica EM KMR2 should always be kept clean.The breaking pins must be free of any
glass particles. Use a brush or ‘Dust off’ for cleaning.
The sliding surface of the scoring and clamping head
(Fig. 34 and Fig.35)
must also be
kept clean
and dry
. Use alcohol to keep the surfaces grease-free.
No grease or oil should be applied!
To clean the sliding surfaces lift up the scoring head as shown in
Fig.36
(Clamping lever in
‘raised’ position).
All surfaces are now accessible for cleaning.
After cleaning replace the scoring head.
7.1 Replacement of the scoring wheel cartridge
With frequent use the scoring wheel cartridge should be replaced around once a year .
To replace, raise the scoring head as shown in
Fig.36
and place it on the table
upside down.
Using the 2 mm Allen Key (provided ) to open the clamping screw for the scoring wheel
cartridge as shown in
Fig.37
and pull out complete cartridge as shown in
Fig. 38
.
Fig.37
Fig.38
Insert a new scoring wheel cartridge with the
flat side facing the clamping screw
and
clamp it. Replace the scoring head and make a ‘test’ score on a piece of glass strip.
The scoring pressure with the new scoring wheel cartridge will probably be too strong or
maybe not enough. For adjustment see
chapter 7.2
.
