Operations:
The solenoid valve, which is remote mounted, is attached to the cutter (item #3) by a
plastic hose and advances the cutter into the material. Compression springs return the
blade to the raised position. The cutter raised position is monitored by a proximity
switch mounted on the rear of the cutter. (item 4)
Adjustments:
The cutter blade may be lowered manually by pushing down on the head of the cutter.
The upper half of the cutter is attached to an adjustable slide. The cutter clearance can
be adjusted by loosening 2 screws (item #1) and rotating the hex nuts (item #2). To
adjust, loosen one side and tighten the opposite side corresponding to the side you
want to adjust in order to line up the blades. Retighten the top screws (item #1). When
greasing, use Mobilux No. 2 or equivalent.
