Page 39: Adjusting The Down Pressure Of The Cutting Head
MAXIMUS - MAXIMUS V ADJUSTING THE DOWN PRESSURE OF THE CUTTING HEAD To cut special hard materials, or to avoid the wheel on the cutting head marking soft materials, it may be necessary to adjust the pressure of the air in the cylinder controlling the head down pressure. Adjustment can be made as follows: Pull knob (1) out (on) for a short distance to release the pressure regulator. - Page 40 MAXIMUS - MAXIMUS V Please proceed with the calibration as follows: • Locate the flow regulation (1). Turning the valve air fitting (1) clockwise will reduce the air flow making the blade travel longer. Vice versa, by turning the valve air fitting (1) counter-clockwise, will increase the air flow, shortening the time of the blade plunge.
