Height Adjustment of the Upper Blade
i
Notice!
To avoid possible damage on the blades during transport the upper blade (4) is fixed in the "Park position"
so that there is a maximum distance to the lower blade.
Set the upper blade into the working position before switching on the machine.

Height adjustment of the upper blade
There is a scale (1) on the frame where you can see the height adjustment in steps of 1/10 mm. When you receive
the machine, the pointer (2) of the scale is in position "16".
1. Hold the knob (3) and loosen the knurled knob (6).
2. Rotate the knob (3) clockwise until stop.
Through that the upper blade (4) move down to the lower blade (5) until both blades are just touching one another
(lower end position). Make a notice of the position of the pointer (2) to use it for all further adjustments.
This lower end position locks the upper blade in place to prevent it from moving out of adjustment.
3. Move the knob (3) anti-clockwise until the pointer is in the middle position between the lower end position and the
position "16".
4. Tighten the knurled knob (6).
5. Run some test-cuts to check if it is possible to separate the PCB's. If it is not possible reduce the distance
between the blades in small steps.

Notice!
The described adjustment helps to reduce the separation forces. This is important when sensitive compo-
nents are very close to the groove.
!
Attention!
Before moving the machine to a new location, set the upper blade to the Park position.
