ADJUSTMENTS & OPERATION
ADJUSTING HEIGHT OF INFEED ROLLER
The infeed roller is adjusted at the factory at
0.040” below the cutting circle.
To check and adjust the height of infeed roller, proceed as follows:
1.
DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
2. Make sure the knives are adjusted properly as explained under
“CHECKING, ADJUSTING AND REPLACING KNIVES”.
3. Place a constructed gauge block (A) Fig.24 on the table directly underneath
the cutterhead as shown. Using a 0.040” feeler gauge (B) placed on top of
the gauge block, raise or lower the head assembly until one of the knives
just touches the feeler gauge when the knife is at its lowest point. Then
tighten the head locking knobs.
4. Move the gauge block (A) Fig.25 minus the feeler gauge, under one end of
the infeed roller (C). The bottom of the infeed roller should just touch the top
of the gauge block (A), as shown.
5. If the height of the infeed roller must be adjusted, loosen hex. nut (D)
Fig.25 and turn adjusting screw (E) until that end of the infeed roller just
touches the top of the gauge block. Then tighten hex. nut (D).
6. Repeat this adjustment with the gauge block on the opposite end of the
infeed roller.
ADJUSTING HEIGHT OF OUTFEED ROLLER
The outfeed roller is adjusted at the factory at
0.040” below the cutting
circle.
To check and adjust the height of outfeed roller, proceed as follows:
1.
DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
2. Make sure the knives are adjusted properly as explained under
“CHECKING, ADJUSTING AND REPLACING KNIVES”.
3. Place the gauge block (A) Fig.24, on the table directly underneath the
cutterhead as shown. Using a 0.040” feeler gauge (B) placed on top of the
gauge block as shown, raise or lower the head assembly until one of the
knives just touches the feeler gauge when the knife is at its lowest point.
Then tighten the head locking knobs.
4. Move the gauge block (A) Fig.26 minus the feeler gauge, under one end of
the outfeed roller (C). The bottom of the outfeed roller should just touch the
top of the gauge block (A).
5. If the height of the outfeed roll must be adjusted, loosen hex. nut (D) Fig.26
and turn adjusting screw (E) until the outfeed roller is properly adjusted.
6. Repeat this adjustment with the gauge block on the opposite end of the
outfeed roller.
