Cleaning and service 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.
Page 38
Cleaning and service Fig. 29: Twist the rotor until it rotates freely Minimum. 0.3mm Fig. 30: 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 39
Cleaning and service • Tighten the (WS) screw and check the cutting gap. Repeat the procedure if necessary. • Tighten the (W) screw at 7Nm again after adjusting the cutting bar. • Then mount the right and left covers onto the device again. NOTE Do not set the cutting gap at less than 0.3 mm.
