Spearhead Star-Cut

Setting Up Your Machine – Level Left To Right

Note

:

If the wings are cutting lower it is better to adjust the rams down on the centre deck
‘eye bolts’.

Height of cut is controlled by varying
the amount of ram stops covering the
ram rod.

Fine adjustment and balance of cut
between the rotors is achieved by
adjusting the length of the screw
attached to the ram base.

Attention

Each ram must have

equal amount of spacers
