Adjusting the Clearance Between the Blade Frames
The distance between the blade frames is adjusted by rotating the eccentric pins located
above the blade frames. Two wrenches are used to do this. One wrench is used to
keep the eccentric pin from rotating while the second is used to loosen the lock nut on
the end of the pin. This nut secures the pin in position once its proper location is
determined. See the illustration below.
To adjust the eccentric, once the lock nut is loosened, rotate the pin using the wrench
used to hold the pin. Rotate the pin, (it is possible that both pins will need adjustment at
the same time), until the knives of the machine are in line within a 1/32 of an inch,
(alternating blades should not appear be in front of or behind each other when viewed
from the side). It is easiest to view this alignment my placing a straight edge horizontally
along the blades midway between the ends of the blade on the blade’s dull side,
(discharge side), when the blade frames are inline or level. When the eccentric pins are
in the desired position tighten each of the lock nuts to secure the position of the
eccentrics. Check the blade frame clearance by turning the driven pulley by hand.
