MAINTENANCE

If both edges of the blades are worn,
you should then proceed with their
sharpening.
In case blades are particularly
worn or damaged, replace them referring
to the spare parts section.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Blades sharpening must be done with suitable machines
that can guarantee a correct sharpening to insure the
angles indicated (Fig. 5).
_________________________________________________________________________________
Every time blades are removed (disassembling/reassembling), before starting the machine again, it is
advisable to check and adjust the distance between blade and bed knife. To adjust bed knife position
proceed as follows;
•
Loosen locking screws (4).
•
Rotate the rotor (1)
bringing the blades (2)
near the bed knife (3).
•
Adjust the position of the
bed knife (3) by means
of adjusting nuts (5)
making sure that distance
between blade and
bed knife is between .063"
and .126" clearance.
•
Make sure that this
distance is the same for
all blades.
•
Block adjusting nuts (5)
and tighten locking screws
(4) with a torque wrench
per the torque specif cation
chart.
