It may be necessary at times to adjust either one or both of the Side Guides due to misalignment with the Blade.
To Adjust the Side Guides, loosen the three 1/4-20 X 3/4” Socket Head Cap Screws located on both Side Guides
with the 3/16 Hex Wrench (HX-316). Using the Alignment Guide (CR-AG) provided and place it on the table mak-
ing sure to line it up with the side guides so that they are aligned with the Die. It is necessary to use the foot pedal
to bring the Blade down and confirm that the Alignment Guide is aligned with the edges of the blade.
When the Side Guides are positioned as desired, tighten down the Socket Head Cap Screws until the Side Guides
are secure.
The blades for the CR-55 may dull over time and can be sharpened. To accomodate the fact that sharpening the
blades will change the overall length of the blade, there are two(2) set screws to adjust the height of the blade
located in the Pressure Foot Mount. These set screws can be accessed from the two(2) threaded holes in the top
of the Pressure Foot Mount.
Insert the Blade into the Blade Holder and secure but do not tighten the the two(2) hex screws. Insert the 1/8” Hex
Wrench (HX-18) provided into the Threaded Holes in the top of the Pressure Foot Mount, engage the Set Screws,
and turn clockwise to lower the overall height of the Blade. Turn clockwise until the bottom of the Blade sits just
higher than the Pressure Foot. Tighten down the Blade. Test the full motion of the blade by stepping on the foot
pedal, to ensure that the Blade comes down past the top of the Die.
