CUTTING REEL ADJUSTMENT _______________________________________

To check that the cutting cylinder is set correctly to the bottom blade:
1. Hold a thin piece of paper between the edge of the bottom blade and the spiral cutters, and turn the
cylinder manually.
2. The paper should be cut cleanly along the length of the bottom blade; if it is not, some adjustment is
necessary -
BUT DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
To Adjust:
1. Slacken the clamp pin locknuts (A).
2. Turn the adjuster (B) anticlockwise to move the
cylinder closer to the bottom blade. Make an 1/8 of a
turn alternately to each adjuster.
Second position
3. Re-tighten the clamp pin locknuts securely and re-
check the setting.
NOTE: The cutting cylinder setting should be checked
every 4 working hours.
If, after adjusting correctly, the paper is not cut cleanly, the cylinder and bottom blade can be backlapped (See
section 7.8).
