Machine cutting adjustments
There are very few adjustments that will need to be made on this machine over time. These machines have
been adjusted and tested at the factory before being shipped. You may need to check and readjust the blades
as necessary over prolonged use. To do this it will need to be done by a person that understands how this
works, as this is a very precision machine and can be damaged if done incorrectly.
Warning!
The following should only be done when the machine is disconnected from the power. Never slide fingers down
edges of the blades lengthwise, as they are extremely sharp and dangerous.
Blade adjustment
Remove both barrels from the machine to access the 2 blades and then remove both of the shrouds covering
the reel. The machine blades must be completely clean before any adjustments are made.
Locate the adjustment blocks for each blade. Only attempt to adjust one blade at a time. It’s best to adjust the
blade away from the reel to make sure it spins freely. To do this you will need to unloosen the lock nut and turn
the adjustment wheel clockwise 3 or 4 notches on both sides of the same blade until the reel turns freely. Once
it spins freely move onto the next step.
Slowly turn the adjustment bolt counterclockwise one notch at a time on each end of the blade while checking
for paper tightness while turning the reel. Refer to figure 2.1 for paper position. Once the paper is touching
then tighten the lock nuts and proceed onto the next blade.
