5. When the spacer is adjusted, use the pin to hold the
spacer in position, reassemble, and tighten the locknut
(Figure 6, 15).
6. Replace the plastic cap.
Checking the Stop Screw on the Sharpener Shoe
1. With new belts on the carrier, insert .010 feeler gauge
#141C1-27 between the stop screw (Figure 6, 8) and
the knife. Ensure that the clamping arm (Figure 6, 10)
has been released from the sharpener shoe (Figure 6,
11). The gauge should just fill the space between the
screw and the knife.
2. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the locknut (Fig-
ure 6, 9). Adjust the set screw to the proper spacing,
and re-tighten the locknut.
Check the Width of the Bevel on the Knife
The bevel should be approximately 1/16" on both sides. If
it is not:
1. Install a new knife and new belts.
2. Color the bevel with a wax pencil.
3. Run the sharpener up and down the knife several times.
4. If an adjustment is required for Flex-Pad shoes, insert
tool C6226 over the belt guide pad. Move the free end
of the tool to the rear to increase the bevel, or to the front
to decrease bevel.
