Make the same adjustment at the other end of the cutting bar. 

6.

 

Now check the adjustment using the small 0.05mm/0.002 inch 
gauge (silver strip) [Part # 38] supplied with the EM-2 (or any 
0.05mm/0.002 inch feeler gauge). If the gauge is held by the 
cylinder blades but the cylinder and cutting bar are not touching 
then the adjustment is correct. 

 

7.

 

The blades may also be tested by inserting a piece of paper 
vertically into the blades while turning them by hand. 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

WARNING 

Blades are sharp! Be careful of injury — 
handle the blades carefully to avoid 
cutting yourself.  Wear appropriate gloves 
or hand protection.
