11.1. Rulers for adjusting the offset between the rollers

a) An accurate ruler with a scale division of 0.1 mm located on the knob (item 14)
b) 2 rulers with a scale division of 1 mm located on the sliding cover of the sliding roller
12. Operation and functional description
12.1. Kneading polymer clay
Insert the polymer clay into the opening between the rollers and turn the crank to compress
it. Once the slice has passed through the mechanism, fold it in half and insert it again
between the rollers. This procedure is repeated until the material is sufficiently conditioned
and supple.
Once the material has been conditioned, you can change its thickness by adjusting the offset
between the rollers.
Mixing polymer clay of different colors (‘blending technique’) represents another use
of the device. For more information on this technique, see the links at the end of the document.
