Operation
2. Make final adjustments to blade support arms and guide assemblies.
Adjust to
assure the blade travels smoothly. Blade should rest on rear guide, but should not touch
the bottom of either side guide assembly.
3. Adjust the setting contact point.
Position the blade so the gauge foot is in between two
teeth. Use the hex key to bring the setting contact point towards the gauge foot until the
dial indicator reads 15-20 thousandths.
4. Position the blade.
Turn the blade to bring a weld into the clamping/setting assembly.
Use the weld as a reference point for starting and stopping. Start with the first tooth to the
right (See NOTE) of the weld that has been set back toward the dial indicator.
NOTE:
The toothsetter sets and measures the teeth which are set away from the opera-
tor and towards the dial indicator. To measure teeth set in the opposite direction, invert
the blade and insert it in the toothsetter.
See Figure 3-2.
Position that tooth in front of the gauge foot so the its edge is aligned
with the center of the setting point.
