Gap Adjustment
Gap is the horizontal clearance between the Upper and Lower Blades. To ensure a clean cut, the gap should be
adjusted according to the thickness of the material being cut.
1. The formula for determining the proper gap is
material thickness in mm divided by 5.
For example: 18 gauge
stainless steel is 1.2 mm thick.
1.2 ÷ 5 = 0.24 (gap).
