MAINTENANCE
A. Sharpening blades
Blades are dual edged. A new cutting edge is
obtained by changing right blade to left side and
visa versa.
If only a slight amount of sharpening is required,
grind wide edge only, as this will eliminate neces-
sity of resetting clearance.
When grinding ends be sure to maintain angle
presently on blade.
Reset scale to zero, lining up zero on scale with
straight edge along blade cutting edge

B. Adjusting blade clearance
Remove table.
Loosen blade mounting bolts A and B.
Loosen blade carrier bolts J.
Adjust lower blades to required tab (per
instructions, A-1, 2, 3, under SETUP).
Set upper blades for no tab or a tab smaller
than set in lower blades.
Back off screws K and pull blade carrier
away from top blade.
Move ram to bottom of stroke.
Turn in screws K by hand pushing blade in
until it contacts upper blade. Placing a shim
or piece of paper between blades will pro-
vide clearance to prevent rubbing of
blades. Too much clearance will cause burr
on workpiece. Excessive rubbing of blade
will reduce blade life.
Tigten bolts J.
Set upper blade to tab notch in lower blade
and tighten.
