Stationary Blade Adjustment
The TICKET EATER blade is adjusted
at the factory. Blade wear will occur
over time. Adjusting the blade so that
it
is closer to the cutter will extend the life
of the blade. Follow these simple steps:
Step Remove the cutter assembly
from the mechanism. Make sure that
power is OFF and that the blade is not
rotating when you remove the assembly.
Step 2. Set the cutter assembly on a
bench in such a way that you can
access the blade screws and turn the
flywheel. Use the edge of your bench to
allow the housing to lie flat.
CAUTION: Even though the blade may
be dull, it is still sharp enough to cut.
Keep your fingers away from the cutter
blade.

they can be turned with fingers alone.

Turning the set screw
clockwise will cause the blade to
,
advance closer to the cutter. The
procedure is to turn the set screw
clockwise while spinning the flywheel
slowly towards you. As the blade
approaches the cutter edge, you should
start to hear and feel the cutter contact
the blade as you spin the flywheel. If
you turn the set screw in too far, the
cutter will not spin freely. Repeat the
procedure with the set screw on the
right until you get an even contact
between the cutter and blade, all the
way across.
Step 6 . When you are satisfied with the
contact being made between the cutter
and the blade, begin to tighten
socket head cap screws with the 7/64"
hex wrench. Tighten just a little on each
side and continue to spin the flywheel to
check the blade to cutter fit.
You will find that tightening the cap
screws will pull the blade away from the
cutter. To compensate for this, adjust
the set screws to allow the blade to run
tighter to the cutter and proceed with
tightening the cap screws. When you
have the cap screws tightened, you
should still have a
contact
between the cutter blade when you
