A WORD ABOUT SAFETY
Used properly, the Smart Stripe is a safe and
dependable tool. However, like a hobby knife, you are
dealing with a very sharp, exposed blade. The best
way to avoid being cut is to remove the blade when
loading the roller or any time you're not using it. We
also suggest covering the blade point with a small
balsa block when removing the stripes from the
roller. Keep the Smart Stripe out of children's reach
at all times.
ASSEMBLE THE BLADE HOLDER
NOTE: An exploded view diagram is provided in the
center of this booklet for reference while assembling
your Smart Stripe.
1. Slide a #4 flat washer onto each of the two
4-40 x 3/4" blade holder screws, then insert the
screws through the right half of the blade holder.
2. Install the left half of the blade holder onto
the screws.
3. Insert a #11 blade between the blade holders to see
how it is supposed to fit, then remove the blade. Please
be careful–the blade is sharp, sharp, sharp!
4. Join the blade holder halves together. First insert
two 4-40 hex nuts into their retainers on the left half
of the blade holder. Then finger tighten the two blade
holder screws.
5. Slide the threaded insert through the hole at the
back (square) end of the blade holder.
6. Start the 6-32 x 1/4" blade holder alignment
screws into the holes at the back of the blade holder,
but don't tighten them.
PREPARE THE ROLLER
1. Insert the dead pin into the holes in both ends of
the hardwood roller to determine which hole the
dead pin can be most easily inserted into and
removed from. Make threads in the hole at the
opposite end of the roller as explained in the
following steps.
2. Use the 1/4-20 x 1" hex head bolt to make
threads in the end of the hardwood roller determined
