(BDC) of any knife/insert edge by slowly rocking
cutterhead pulley back and forth, then set Rotacator
dial to "0" (see Figure.47).
6.. Move feed speed knob to neutral position to allow
infeed roller to freely rotate.
7.. Keeping Rotacator dial at "0", position it under right-
hand side of infeed roller and find BDC of a serrated
edge by rocking infeed roller back and forth.
8.. Loosen jam nuts and use set screws on each side
of feed roller (see Figure.48) to adjust height of
infeed roller bushing block until Rotacator dial shows
0.040", which is the recommended distance for
infeed roller below cutterhead.
9.. Repeat Steps.7–8 on left side of infeed roller.
10.. Re-check both sides of infeed roller and, if
necessary, make further adjustments until infeed
roller height from side-to-side is 0.040" below BDC of
cutterhead knife, then retighten both jam nuts.
11.. Keeping same "0" reference on Rotacator dial from
Step.5, repeat Steps.7–10 for outfeed roller, but
adjust it until it is 0.020" below BDC of cutterhead
knife.
12.. Using same "0" reference on Rotacator dial from
Step.5, perform similar steps as described previously
