9.0 Wedge Replacement
The wedge should be replaced when honing and adjustment is no longer effective. If heater failure occurs
after a period of time, the heaters may not be easily removed. The wedge and heater will most likely have
to be replaced together.
1.
Unplug machine and make sure wedge is cool.
2.
Remove Hanger Bracket Screw #11 and remove Wedge Housing Assembly #14.
3.
Unscrew and detach Heater Connector #12.
4.
Remove both Wedge Screws #13, and remove wedge.
5.
Install new wedge with Wedge Screws. Attach Heater Connector and re-attach Wedge.
6.
Center Housing with Screw #11 and tighten.
7.
Wedge alignment may be necessary, please refer to Wedge Adjustment Section.
Note: Wedge Housing assembly will move back and forth in slot for #11 screw. Moving the Housing will
increase or decrease exposure of material to wedge for different preheat time or exposure. Thinner
products need little preheat, thicker material need more.
