Objective
Adjust the back wedge for proper support of the material off the table
top, without creating any pinch or stress points.
Procedure
To adjust the back wedge for initial proper positioning, follow these
steps:
1. Grasp a handful of material, approximately 2 to 2-1/2 in. (5 to
6 cm) thick, and preshingle the edges with your thumb
(Figure 21).
2. Place the preshingled material in the hopper so that the edges
rest against the curvature of the gate assembly (Figure 22).
3. Turn the back wedge knob counter-clockwise to loosen the
wedge (Figure 22).
4. Move the back wedge forwards and backwards until the bot -
tom sheet is not touching the table top (Figure 23). A good
starting point is to measure about 5/8 in. (16 mm) from the
bottom sheet to front edge of table top. Then as you test, you
can “fine tune” from this point.
Refer back to the previous
page for other helpful guidelines.

Moving the back wedge too far forward to the
gate assembly can create a pinch point between
the tip of the triangle wedges and the material. If
moving the back wedge in is not effective, then an
optional wedge may be required. See Appendix A
for more information.
