G. Re-Parallel The Mat Guide
TOOLS NEEDED: Phillips Screwdriver, Ruler.
To re-parallel the Mat Guide, first determine that the Mat Guide is out of parallel by
doing a parallel test.
Parallel Test:
1. Lock the Mat Guide at the 2” mark on the scale.
Fig. 8
2. Place a scrap piece of matboard under the Cutting Bar and up against the Mat
Guide at the top end of the machine.
3. Using a pencil, draw a line across the matboard.
4. Slide the mat all the way down to the bottom where you are standing keeping the
mat against the mat guide but not against the Squaring Arm.
5. Draw another line across the matboard.
6. The piece of matboard should now appear to only have one single line across it. If
the two lines drawn do not line up with each other, the Mat Guide needs to be re-
paralleled.
To Re-parallel:
1. Release the Mat Guide screws.
2. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to loosen the screws on either side of the black
knobs one turn each. There are four screws total to be loosened this way.
3. Place a metal ruler or suitable straight edge between the Mat Guide and the
Cutting Bar.
Fig. 9
4. Slide the Mat Guide against the straight edge and the Guide Rail. Make sure both
the Mat Guide and the Guide Rail are making solid contact on both sides of the
straight edge.
5. Re-tighten the
Black Knobs
first.
6. Then re-tighten the four screws. Do another parallel test to ensure that the Mat
Guide is now parallel.
H. Bearing Removal & Replacement
Additional Requirements: 600 Grit Silicon Carbide Paper (supplied)
If you have tried to eliminate all other causes of hooks and curves and they still exist,
check the cutting head for wobble on the cutting bar. If significant wobble occurs, it
may be time for a bearing replacement. Keep in mind that bearings last around three
years with regular use.
The Framer’s Edge cutting head is designed to ride on Delrin bearings installed
between the cutting head and cutting bar. The Delrin absorbs the wear so that costly
replacement and constant oiling of metal parts is not necessary. Logan provides these
bearings free for the lifetime of your machine. They will be sent to you free of charge
upon request. If you feel you cannot replace the bearing yourself, you can arrange for
our service department to do it.
NOTE: You must call to get a Return Authorization Number before sending your
machine in for bearing replacement.
