12-4 Overlap of the upper and lower knives 

When the upper knife is at the bottom of its travel, there should be approximately 0.5mm 
overlap of the upper and lower knives.    To make this adjustment, loosen screw A on the 
upper knife shaft lever.  Then the upper knife and upper knife holder can be moved up 
and down simultaneously.    Tighten screw A when 0.5mm overlap of the upper and lower 
knives is obtained.  Secure bushing D with upper knife shaft lever B and washer C so 
that there is no left-to-right shake on upper knife shaft E.    Then tighten screw A. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

12-5 To sharpen the knife 

The upper knife is made of an extra hard alloy. 
When the knives become dull, sharpen the lower knife 
first (see the illustration).  If cutting is still not 
performed properly, replace the upper knife.

2.

 

Loosen two screws A.  Remove the handwheel to the right while turning it slowly 
(see the illustration). 

3.

< Note > 

The max. space between the chip guard (H) and the 

shooter (I) is adjusted under 8mm at the delivery of the 

factory.  If re-adjustment is needed due to repairing job 

etc., please make sure to adjust it under 8mm.
