CUTTER KNIFE INSTALLATION
&
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
a.
At the position shown in Fig. 7, insert
the knife
so
the holes are aligned with
those on the drum. Set the wooden
levellers on each end
of
the knife edge
and press down on both ends until the
main frame surface
is
contacted.
The levellers should be pressed down
just above the hex bolt holes on either
end.
b. Fix the cutter drum
a t
the position
shown in Fig. 6, attach the durm cover
and fasten securely the hex bolts.
Tightening
a l l
bolts fully in order may
cause the knife to move. A t first,
tighten bolts gradually and evenly be-
fore applying the final tightening torque.
c.
Secure the lever
a t
the position you
found
it a t
when the chip guard was
raised, then set the lever on top (see
right), pressing down very gently and
turning the cutter drum in the arrow
direction. The leveller should move the
same amount when placed over either
end of one and the same knife (i.e.,
ap-
prox. 5 - 6 mm
(3/16"
- 1/4")). After
adjusting knife height on both knives,
replace chip guard
as
before. Replace
guards after completing adjustments.
