Edge Control Eye Adjustment
Factory set to be suitable for most fabrics.
Side edge accuracy adjustment:
If adjustment is required, raise the cradle to loading
position. Loosen two screws holding the bottom sensor
and move sensor eyes closer for more accuracy. If
sensor eyes are to close the edge control will not operate
properly and the eyes must be separated slightly.
Experimentation will yield the best setting for your fabric.
Edge sensitivity adjustment:
If adjustment is required the sensor must be removed for
adjustment. Each sensor has a countersunk adjusting
screw on the bottom surface. Turn screw clockwise to
increase sensitivity, counterclockwise to decrease sen-
sitivity. Replace sensors and set side edge adjustment.
Spreading Tension Adjustment
Spreading tension setting is set on the cradle control
panel. Turn clockwise to increase tension or counter-
clockwise to decrease tension. Experimentation will
yield the best setting for your fabric. (Each roll of material
possesses it's own unique tension and it is the operator's
responsibility to adjust the tension to meet the material
needs).
