I wouldn't use anything oily that would gum up. Try graphite powder, or just send them in

I would just take it to an authorized dealer and swap it out.

I use alcohol on a swab to clean the tracks and blade. Also there are two little holes at the top of the tracks that can get bits of tobacco stuck in them. You can use a paper clip to poke through the holes to clean them out. You will be surprised how dirty the tracks can get and how many bits of tobacco that can accumulate.

This is what I have done in the past too.

If concerned, recommend you contact Palio and ask.
I am certain they will oblige and may have other tips.

About twice a year, I immerse and agitate my cutters when I am doing dishes. I always use a hair drier (was funny if you've seen my haircut) to ensure that I get all the water back out.

I due it basically as a precaution as I've never had an issue with any cutter but my Xikar (it would get gummy).
