Mounting the anti-roll system
1. Insert the glass plate into the changing frame and
clamp evenly with the knurled screws (7).
2. From above, insert the axle (8) of the metal frame
into the opening of the swivel arm of the anti-roll
system (4, Fig. 2), so that the pin (6) rests in the
groove (5, Fig. 2).
3. From below, slide the white plastic washer (9) onto
axle (2).
4. Screw knurled nut (10) onto axle (2) from below.
All 4 longitudinal edges of the anti-roll
glass plate can be used.
Inserting the blade into knife holder CE
1. Tilt anti-roll system to the left – to do so hold
system at lever (11) (not at the set screw of the
anti-roll system) to avoid altering the height of
the anti-roll system.
2. Open clamping lever (12) by rotating it counter-
clockwise.
3. Carefully insert the blade (13) between clamp-
ing plate and back plate, either from above or
from one side. Make sure the blade is properly
centered.
4. Rotate lever (12) clockwise to clamp.
5. Grip anti-roll system at lever (11) and tilt back
onto blade.
Lateral adjustment
If sectioning results are not satisfactory, adjust the
knife holder laterally to section with another part of
the blade.
For that purpose:
1. Rotate clamping lever (14) backwards to loosen
and slide the knife holder laterally into the de-
sired position.
2. Rotate clamping lever (14) forward to clamp.
