9-9 Bed Knife Installation & Setting
New or resharpened knives should be handled with extreme care. It is
suggested that the sharp cutting edge be covered with tape to prevent damage
to the knives or injury to personnel during installation.

It is important to note that the minimum dimensions
given for the rotor knife and bed knife cannot be
combined simultaneously to produce a cutting
combination.

are available from AEC Engineering. Contact the

Bed Knife Sharpening
1. Install the new or re-sharpened bed knives, and clamps
in the reverse of removal. Make sure the knives are
fully back against the knife adjusting screws and loosen
the adjusting screw check-nuts slightly. Do not torque
the socket cap screws fully at this point -- snug them
down only.
CAUTION!
