12. Carefully hold the
assembly in place
while beginning to
tighten the set
screws.
13. Rotate the hub and
check the blade to
ensure all sides are
centered across from
the die groove. The
blade must be level
to consistently
function.
14. When the blade is
positioned correctly,
tighten the set screws
and rotate the
assembly again to
ensure that it is level all the way around.
(D). Setting the Gap: Blade Horizontal Adjustment
The gap between the blade and the die groove is determined by the type of bags being
closed. The optimum range suggested for the gap is from 3/32 – 3/16 inch (2,4 – 4,8mm).
Set the gap for the larger gap size for thicker bag materials and the smaller gap for the
thinner materials. The gap can be easily and quickly changed. The horizontal location of
the creaser blade is adjusted by a bolt in the block of the creaser blade assembly, located in
the swing channel. (

steps:
15. Remove the top cover (guard) in the center of the machine, which surrounds the base
of the electrical control box.
16. Loosen the Blade Gap Jam Nut. (

17. Turn the Blade Gap Adjustment Screw, (

) in or out of the block to decrease or
increase the gap size, respectively. The blade must never come into contact with the
die.
18. Once the desired gap is achieved, lock the adjustment screw, (
G
) into position with
the jam nut.
