Roller-Disc
Blade
Gullets
Approximately
0.016"
Figure 56. Roller-disc positioned just behind
blade gullets.
Note: With wider blades, it may not be pos-
sible to bring the roller-discs just behind the
blade gullets. Position them as far forward as
possible without allowing the roller-disc hous-
ing to touch the back of the blade.
Blade teeth are angled out slightly, pro-
truding wider than the blade thickness;
this is known as blade "tooth set" (see
Figure 57). If angled out parts of the teeth
contact roller-discs during operation, they
will get bent inward, ruining the tooth set.
Therefore, the support bearing must be
set to prevent teeth from contacting roller-
discs during operation (refer to Page 31 for
details).

Cap Screw
To adjust "Euro-style" roller-discs:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Loosen guide block adjustment cap screw
shown in
Figure 55, then position roller-discs
just behind blade gullets, as illustrated in
Figure 56. Retighten cap screw to secure
setting.
Note: The roller-discs should be positioned
behind the gullets at a distance equal to that
of the support bearing behind the blade (see
Figure 45 on Page 31).
