A) Assemble the cutting frame with the legs as
shown in Diagram I. (Use 16 1/4 x 3/4 bolts
with a lock washer under the nut and a flat
washer under the bolt head.)
1) Each frame Part “A” overlaps each frame
Part “B” at the corners. (Frame parts “A”
are in pairs of a right and a left.)
2) All legs “C” attach to the outside edges of
the frame.
B) Attach the cutting head to the frame using
4 1/4 x 3/4 bolts with a lock washer under the
nut and a flat washer under the bolt head.
1) The Cross cut blade is toward the front of
the machine.
2) Attach the handle to the cross cut
assembly as shown in Diagram II.
3) Insert the crank handle onto the lower drive
roller shaft. Tighten the set screw.
C) Place one 12” octagon sheet metal collar on
each piece of 1”pipe. (See Diagram III.) Put a
roll of liner on the pipe. Add another sheet
metal collar to the pipe.
D) Place the pipe in the pipelocks on the frame.
(See Diagram I.)
E) Feed one roll of the liner into the unit.
F) Center the liner on the pipe so that it feeds
evenly into the machine. Line up the collars
with the insulation feed guides on the machine
head table. Push the collars up against the
roll of liner. Please allow 1/4” to 1/2” clearance
between the liner and the collars. Lock the
collars in place. The unit is ready for use.

shoulder screw and locking nut. Position
the blade in the blade roller. Insert the
slitting blade about 3/32” to 1/8” into the
blade roller slot. Tighten the hex head screw
on the slitter blade casting.
3) Check the blade assembly adjustment at
the center and the opposite side of the
head. The blade must rotate freely. If binding
occurs at either of these positions, readjust.
