• The index marks (0°, 5° and 10°) for adjust-
ment of the clearance angle (27) are located
on the right side of the knife holder (25).
• There is also an index mark (28) on the right
side of the knife holder base (21) which
serves as a reference point when adjusting
25
the clearance angle.
• When using the knife holder base (non-
orientable), loosen the Allen screw to
release the clamp by turning Allen key No. 4
(24) counterclockwise.
• When using the knife holder base (with
lateral movement), rotate the lever on the
right side of the knife holder base counter-
clockwise.
• Move the knife holder until the index mark of
the desired clearance angle coincides with
the reference line on the knife holder base.
Example:
