❏
The number shown in the sample indicates the thickness level compared to the current
linear spacer. (See * .) There are 11 linear spacers with 11 different thicknesses.
❏
The linear spacer is attached by two pieces, one on each side of the head base. Therefore,
when you need to replace one linear spacer, always replace both linear spacers at the
same time.
❏
When replacing the linear spacer, place it under the angular spacer.
* If necessary, replace the linear spacer. For instance, if your pattern is similar to the pattern
shown under –2, replace the linear spacer with a thinner linear spacer. If your pattern is similar
to the pattern shown under 2, replace the linear spacer with a thicker spacer.
