Figure 2.1
Paper inserted from the front side.
Check for light contact force on both sides of the reel on the paper like in figure 2.1. Adjust each side until the
paper is lightly pinched. Remove the paper and turn the blade with a block of wood. You should not feel or hear
any contact with the reel blade.
Assembly the guards, plug the machine into the power cord and turn on the reel motor. If you hear any ticking
or noise adjust the side causing the contact until it goes away.
This can be adjusted while the machine is running very carefully. Find the blade end, loosen lock nut and adjust
the thumb wheel a few notches to move blade away from the reel blade then retighten lock nut. Repeat as
necessary until machine runs quite.
