3-13-4 READJUSTING KNIFE CARRIERS
Frequent use of the clamping levers can lead to
the fact that the knife carriers cannot be clamped
optimally anymore. If the necessary readjustments
are not carried out, it might even be possible that
the knife carriers cannot be clamped anymore.
•
If the clamping lever does not allow a
sufficient clamping, the clamping can be
adjusted as follows:
•
For this, loosen the set screw (fig. 65.1) on
the lower side of the knife carrier.
•
Insert a pin into one of the holes of the brass
screw (fig. 65.2) and turn the brass screw.
•
When the clamping is to be strengthened, turn
the brass screw (fig. 65.2) to the right side.
•
When the clamping is to be loosened, turn the
brass screw to the left side.
•
Before inserting the knife carrier again, first
tighten the set screw (fig. 65.1).
•
Afterwards, push the knife carrier onto the
consoles and check the clamping function.
•
If necessary, repeat the above-mention
process.
