Adjusting for smooth handle action
The hex lock nut which holds the blade
case and the arm together has been factory
adjusted to assure smooth handle action up
and down and to guarantee precise cutting.
Do not tamper it. Should looseness de-
velop at the blade case and arm connec-
tion, tighten the hex lock nut using a
wrench while holding the bolt with another
wrench. After adjusting the hex lock nut, be
sure that the handle returns automatically
to the initial, raised position from any posi-
tion. If the hex lock nut is too loose, the

cutting accuracy will be affected; if it is too tight, it will be difficult to work the handle up
and down. Note that this is a self locking nut. It is a special type that does not loosen dur-
ing normal use. It should not overtightened or replaced with other types of nuts. The ideal
amount to tighten the hex lock nut is: tight enough to just barely prevent any binding of the
handle action when the handle is moved up or down.
Adjusting for smooth beveling action
The hex lock nut holding together the arm
and arm holder has been factory adjusted
to assure smooth beveling action and to
guarantee precise cutting. Do not tamper
with it. Should looseness develop at the
arm and arm holder connection, tighten the
hex lock nut using a wrench
