12.2. Adjusting the offset between the rollers (Fig.14)
The offset can be adjusted in the range of 0 to 6 or 0 to 12 mm (depending on the model).
Before changing the offset between the rollers, make sure that the support bolts (item 7)
are loose (in case you want to increase the offset). If the knob (item 14) will not turn when
increasing the offset, you need to loosen the support bolts (item 7) or you have already
reached the maximum offset.
NEVER APPLY FORCE WHEN TURNING THE KNOB (ITEM 14) AND THE SUPPORT
BOLTS (ITEM 7).
Applying excessive force may strip the screw. LC Tools is not liable for the damage.
The offset itself is adjusted using the knob on the machine (item 14). By turning it counter
clockwise, you increase the offset. When you turn it clockwise, the offset between the rollers
is decreased. The direction of rotation is indicated with an icon on the machine cover.
The offset can be read from the ruler located on the mechanism.
If the rollers reach an extreme position, do not try to continue turning the knob
by force as this might block the sliding mechanism.
12.3. Locking the roller motion
If you want a polymer clay slice with a specific thickness, lock the rollers in the desired
position using the support bolts. Tighten the screws (item 7) gently until they are secure
against the opposite sliding roller frame. This sets the clearances for precise operation
of the rollers with the specified offset.
We recommend that you use the support bolts at all times in order to extend the life
of the sliding mechanism.
