It is important to position the Work Table (L) correctly to ensure you receive the best cutting performance
from the blades.
1. Turn the Adjustment Wheels (A and B) to the left until the blades cut into the bottom of the roll
approximately 1/16" or more, depending on the condition of the roll and the type of leather you are cutting.
2. Pay close attention to your adjustments. If the blades cut too deeply into the bottom roll, it may cause
uneven edges on your straps and may eventually wear deep wrinkles into the bottom roll. If the blades are
positioned too far from the roll, the machine will not cut the leather all the way through.
Please note:
Adjustments may vary depending on the thickness of the leather.
The purpose of the machine’s metal fingers is to prevent the cut material from winding onto the cutter shaft.
It is important for them to be positioned correctly.
1. You’ll find the Metal Fingers (C) located at the back of the machine.
2. Adjust by sliding the Metal Fingers (C) to the left or right, spacing them between the blades so the
Metal Fingers (C) skim the spacers that are mounted between the blades.
3. To remove Metal Fingers (C), remove the Side Bracket (D) on the left side of the machine and slide them off.
The handle on this machine can be mounted in two positions – one for higher torque, lower speed applications,
which is the Low Speed Adjustment (E), and one for lower torque, higher speed applications, which is the High
Speed Adjustment (F).
1. To adjust the speed, first remove the handle by loosening the Thumb Screw (G) that’s located at the base
of the handle. The handle should then slide off.
2. Slide the handle onto the preferred shaft and then tighten the Thumb Screw (G). You’ll want to adjust your
speed according to the weight of the leather and your personal work preferences.
For your convenience, this machine is designed for the quick changing of spacers and blades.
1. Turn the Adjustment Wheels (A and B) to the right until the blades are no longer touching the bottom roll.
2. Remove the Locking Lever (H) located on the left side of the machine and then slide the Side Bracket (D)
off of the shaft.
3. Remove the safety guard by removing the Thumb Screws (I and J).
4. Then, loosen the Left-Handed Nut (K), using the Wrench (O) supplied and a Bar (P) that fits into the hole
on the shaft. The spacers and blades should now easily slide off the shaft.
5. To replace, simply slide your preferred spacers and blades onto the shaft. Properly adjust the Metal
Fingers
(C), so there is one Metal Finger (C) per spacer. Tighten the nut on the drive shaft. Replace the
end bracket and tighten the Allen screw. Remember to replace the safety guard before operating.
We offer 1/16", 1/4", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4" or 1"* spacers and replacement blades.
*1/16" measures 1/16" even; the rest are 1/16" under size so you get the proper measurement after the
addition of the blades.
