Maintenance of Splicing Quality
Repositioning the CT08 Cleaver Blade
If the cleaver does not cleave properly, rotate the blade 1/16th of a turn to replace the worn
out blade position with a sharp blade position. Blade life is normally 1000 cleaves per blade
position. To rotate the blade, do the following:
1.
Check the Blade Positon Number printed to the side of the blade.
2.
Close the Lever and then rotate the Blade Rotating Dial in the direction of the arrow
until it clicks. The Blade Rotating Dial is located in the rear side.
3.
Check that the Blade Position has advanced to next number.
Adjusting Blade Height of CT08
After the circular blade has been rotated a complete revolution (16 positions), its height
needs to be adjusted to compensate for the wear.
1.
Verify the position of the Blade Height Adjuster. It is locked by the Adjuster Set Screw
to prevent turning.
2.
Loosen the Adjuster Set Screw with the hexagon wrench (HEX-01) and then rotate the
Adjuster one mark. Do not rotate more than one mark at one time.
3.
Tighten the Adjuster Set Screw. Overtightening may cause breakage.
Move the blade with 1 position at one time. If it is accidentally moved too far,
rotate it backwards or forwards to get to the appropriate position.
