3.1. Set-up (see fig.1)
 ALWAYS wear gloves when adjusting the cutter wheel.
3.1.1. The edge of the cutter wheel needs to overlap the edge of the feeder wheel by
approximately the same value as the thickness of the metal to be cut. It is recommended
that a piece of scrap material of the type to be cut is used to determine the optimum setting.
3.1.2. To achieve this, firstly loosen both the upper and lower grub screws using the hex.
key provided.
3.1.3. To increase the overlap, screw the lower grub screw in (clockwise) until the
required overlap is reached. Tighten the upper grub screw until a gentle clamping
force is applied.
3.1.4. To decrease the overlap, slacken the lower grub screw and turn the upper grub
screw clockwise until the required overlap is reached. Tighten the lower grub screw
gently to lock the cutter wheel.
3.1.5. If the cutter wheel is reluctant to move, use the flats on the tail of the cam shaft to
move the cutter wheel and reset accurately using the grub screws.
3.2. Cutting
3.2.1. Having set the overlap, introduce the workpiece into the bite between the cutter wheel
and feed wheel.
3.2.2. Make sure that waste side of the work is to the right (feeder wheel) side.
3.2.3. Making sure that the pawl is sitting over the ratchet, pull the handle forward whilst
applying slight pressure with your other hand toward the cut.
3.2.4. Keep the cutting action smooth until the cut is finished. If the action is stiff, reduce the
overlap slightly as in 3.2.4.
4.1. When lubricating, avoid getting oil onto the feeder wheel.
4.2. Replacement cutter and feeder wheel sets are available under part no: DC16/B
