    Cleaning and service 8 Cleaning and service 8.1 Adjusting the cutting bars To ensure that the device will function satisfactorily, it is necessary to check the cutting gap (target spacing 0.3 mm). The (SL) cutting bars are therefore moveable so that the cutting gap can be set. Fig.
  • Page 35 Cleaning and service Fig. 24: Twist the rotor until it rotates freely Minimum. 0.3mm Fig. 25: Setting the cutting gaps • Use a (BL) feeler gauge to check the cutting gap between all three (SL) cutting bars. The gap should be at least 0.3 mm. The (BL) feeler gauge must be put on the two cutting surfaces as shown in the illustration.
  • Page 36 Cleaning and service  Turning the studs (U) in a clockwise direction pushes the cutting bar closer to the rotor knife and reduces the cutting gap accordingly. Turning in an anti- clockwise direction increases the cutting gap.  Tighten the (WS) screw and check the cutting gap. Repeat the procedure if necessary.
