5. Replace bottom cover, lay machine flat, and turn on power. Make a cut. Check position of
knife – USE CAUTION, THE KNIFE EDGE IS VERY SHARP. The edge of a new knife
should be above the bottom of the clamp when the knife and clamp are in the “up” positions.
If the knife edge is below the clamp, repeat the adjustment procedure described above, and
move the bracket slightly in the slots to allow the knife to come up further. NOTE: the knife
should not be able to come up so far that the gears become disengaged – or damage to the
machine could result.
3.4.10 Knife Down Limit Switch Adjustment
The down limit switch is normally adjusted by the operator from the exterior of the machine. No
internal adjustments can be made, but the switch can be checked to ensure that it is functioning
properly.
To check switch assembly:
1. Turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.
2. With the top cover ON, place machine on a flat level surface on it’s left side and remove
bottom cover.
3. Check all bracket and switch hardware to make sure they are tight (Figure 17).
