Maintaining AccuCut Machines

and Dies

Randall Enos RCLS Youth Services Consultant

In response to discussing maintenance of the AccuCut

machines with the AccuCut support

staff and how poor maintenance of

the rollers and trays can do

damage to dies information

and guidelines for proper care

and replacement of the rollers and

trays has been posted to the RCLS website

If you own an AccuCut machine look over this

information and follow the guidelines suggested especially

if you borrow dies from the RCLS collection since proper

maintenance of your equipment will affect the condition of

the dies we circulate

Thank you for your attention to this matter
