4.8 ADJUSTMENTS
The machine has been completely tested and checked in Alfa Automation plants before its shipment. All the operator
has to do is perform the following adjustments:
4.8.1 Setting stops for Wedges positioning
The working stroke of the driver blade is adjusted by 2 stop
handles positioned on a measurement gauge (see fig. 4.8.1).
The stop located inside the hand lever (operator side), refers
to the Wedges rear position; the located in front of a.m. lever
refers to the Wedges external position.
The carriage with the driver blade is positioned by shifting the
handle from the eternal position to the rear one.

4.8.2 Vertical clamp adjustment
The vertical clamp position can be adjusted by the side-handle. Proceed as follows to position properly the vertical clamp:
• Loosen the side clamp (see picture 4.8.2.1) by using the
handle and adjust the pressure pad height over the frame
(it is advisable to adjust an height between 5 and 8 mm
to avoid any accidental fingers crushing).
• Tighten the handle once reached the proper position
• Activate the vertical clamp by pressing half way the foot
pedal and then the control button or pressing full down
the full pedal.
• Check that the mouldings to be assembled are properly
clamped.

4.8.3 Horizontal clamp adjustment
The Frontal Clamp (horizontal clamp) has a series of holes in the flat bar (see Pict. 4.8.3.1) that lock into a peg in the
front channel. Lift the bar to take it out of its initial position and make it move forward and backward.
To lock the bar it is sufficient to insert it into the proper peg located at the centre of the guide channel.
Proceed as follows to position the Horizontal Clamp correctly:
• Remove the bar from the peg (lifting it by about 10-15
mm) and move it forward up to reach the mouldings to
be assembled;
• Lower the bar to allow the insertion of tracking screw
and the locking in the next position.
