2. Machine setup 

o

 

The knife edge system 

The correct setting of the knife edges will help to ensure 
trouble free operation of the trap. Place a clay in one of the 
pockets of the carousel and rotate the carousel so that the 
clay just passes through the knife-edges. The clay should 
pass underneath the blades with a clearance of around 
0.5mm. Using a 10mm spanner,  
 

check and adjust the height of the knife-edges if required by 
moving the nuts on the threaded stud on the leading edge of 
the knife edge block. Make allowances for clay thickness 
variation by checking several clays, ideally from different 
boxes.

 

 

o

 

The Back-rail 

The back-rail should need no adjustment as supplied from the 
factory. However, adjustment can be made to modify the clays 

flight right or left. Adjustment is made by slackening the bolt at 
the front end of the back-rail and moving the back-rail as 
necessary. By moving the rail forward, the clays trajectory will 
be moved to the left. Moving the rail backwards alters the 
flight to the right.
