CYLINDER TO BOTTOM BLADE ADJUSTMENT _______________________
To check that the cutting cylinder is set correctly to the
bottom blade: tilt the machine back, hold a thin piece of
paper between the edge of the blade and spiral
cutters and turn the cylinder manually.
The paper should be cut cleanly along the length of the
bottom blade, if not some adjustment is necessary
BUT DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN - the cylinder must be
able to turn freely.
Adjustment is made by loosening the locknut [A] and
turning the adjustment screws [B] clockwise to move
the cylinder towards the blade.
It is recommended that an eighth of a turn is made
alternately to each screw, checking frequently with
the paper until the correct setting is achieved.

The adjustment of the cylinder clutch is made with the
clutch in the engaged position. slacken the two nuts [B]
either side of the plate, then turn them both in the same
direction until the correct adjustment has been made.
Retighten the nuts.
