CRAIN No. 290 SEAM CUTTER PLUS INSTRUCTIONS

SEAM CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS

Adjusting the row guide:

Loosen the three screws which allow the row guide to move up or down.

Part the nap of the carpet to be trimmed with a row finder or separator.

Set the base of the Seam Cutter on the carpet with the extended row 
guide dropping into the parted row. With some downward pressure on 
the handle of the tool, press the row guide down to the bottom of the row. 
Once the row guide depth is set, retighten the three screws.

NOTE:  A properly adjusted row guide will ride on the bottom of the row 
and the base will be flat on the face of the carpet. The base should not 
teeter back and forth on the row guide.  If it does, shorten the depth of the 
guide until there is no rocking, yet the row guide still contacts the bottom 
of the row.
