Canon Océ VarioPrint 6000+ Series Manual

The die sets have a life expectancy of approximately 500,000 punched sheets. However, when
you lubricate the die sets on a regular basis, the life expectancy can increase. You must regularly
lubricate the following parts.
• The punch pins.
• The shoulder bolts and springs.
• The felt oil pad, if applicable.

Some die sets have a felt oil pad that must be lubricated. The following table indicates which
types of die set do or do not have a felt oil pad.

• Lubricate the punch pins every 50,000 punched sheets.

Use a high quality machine oil to lubricate the die sets.

IMPORTANT

Do not use an aerosol (spray) type of oil. This type of oil leaves a sticky residue on the pins and

attracts paper dust.
