4. Move the Carriage over the tool so that the Cutter Blade fits into the
indented gutter of the tool as shown in the figure at right.
5. Push the Carriage Cover down snugly against the Cutter Blade so that the
Cutter Blade pushes down against the adjustment tool.
6. Tighten the two Carriage Cover screws, and then return the Carriage to
home position.
NOTE: The standard height from the cutter's bottom surface to the
subplaten's upper surface is 9.75 ± 0.25 mm.
