In the standard state of delivery, the deflection of corner knife can be used only up to 8.0 mm. When desiring to perform the deflection setting of more than 8.0 mm, change the setting of deflection following the procedure next. The following is an example of deflection setting of 10.0 mm. 1) Adjust the long corner knife so that the cutting length of the outside knife becomes from 4.0 mm to 6.0 mm.
(6) Deflection amount setting Automatic deflection detection function By pressing the button of automatic deflection detection function, the flap is read using two flap sensors and the deflection can be automatically set. However, when Right flap angle detection device is not mounted, left flap (double welt and single welt with one side flap) only can be used.

12. HOW TO ADJUST THE FOOT PEDAL The foot pedal of this device is so designed that an analog type pedal sensor detects the depressing depth of the foot pedal and the detected voltage value is taken as the operation step of the pedal. However, the voltage value of the pedal sensor changes with a lapse of time.
Page 127
2 When FOOT PEDAL ADJUSTMENT button B s pressed, the foot pedal adjustment screen is displayed and the number of steps in terms of the depressing depth of the foot pedal is set. 3 Pedal sensor voltage value in the present pedal depressing state is displayed in the range of 0 to 99 in the volume bar indication C .
