Inserting the knife into knife holder CN and
knife height adjustment
Knife holder CN can be operated with all wedge-
shaped c- and d-profile knives. To fit disposable
blades into knife holder CN, use the blade holder
for disposable blades. Prior to inserting the
knives (from above) completely loosen the two
clamping screws (15).
Adjust the knife height before retightening screw
(15).
The knife height is adjusted via the knurled nuts
(16). The upper edge of the back plate (rear clamp-
ing plate) serves as an index to determine the
appropriate knife height. The knife edge should
be at the same level as the back plate; even knives
that have been greatly reduced in height by fre-
quent resharpening (up to a height of 25 mm) can
be properly height-adjusted and clamped in the
knife holder CN.
