You  must  now  choose  which  type  of 
blade  you  want  to  calibrate.  Scroll  to 

the  appropriate  blade  using  the 

 

or 

 keys and press 

‘MENU’ to select. 

Press 

‘SLICE’  to  continue.  The 

instrument  will  now  re-position  the 
blade  with  respect  to  the  alignment 
device ready for adjustment. 

 

 
 

The  display  will  now  change  to  that 
shown  on  the  left.  Note  that  the 
uppermost  line  shows  the  current  Z 
axis (vertical) deflection. At this point it 
indicates  zero  because  the  blade  is 
not moving. 

 
Press 

‘SLICE’ as instructed and when the blade is vibrating note the Z axis deflection 

reading. 
Press 

‘SLICE’ again to stop the blade vibration.  

 
Loosen  the  lower  locking  screw  just  sufficiently  tight  to  retain  its  grip  on  the  blade 
holder but without locking it in place. 
The blade holder can be tilted in a clockwise direction by turning the adjusting screw 
clockwise using the supplied hexagonal driver. Tighten the lower screw. 
Conversely, the blade holder can be tilted in a counter-clockwise direction by turning 
the adjusting screw counter-clockwise. 
 
Press 

‘SLICE’ to set the blade vibrating again and note the Z axis deflection. Stop the 

blade vibrating. If the error has increased you should repeat the adjustment but in the 
opposite direction. 
 
Continue  the  above  process  until  the  Z  axis  deflection  has  been  reduced  to 
acceptable limits. Once the blade is within acceptable limits the lower locking screw 
may be tightened to a torque of 30-40 cN.m. Do not over-tighten the screw 
Recheck the blade alignment. Repeat the adjustment procedure if required. 
 
 
When you have completed the alignment procedure press the 

‘RETURN’ key and 

follow the removal instructions as shown on the display. 
 
In certain circumstances, for example if a steel blade is fitted and you have specified 
a ceramic blade, the control system may position the blade incorrectly and not detect 
the blade edge. In these instances the display will show the following message:
