Blade Height Adjustment
When the circular blade has been rotated one complete revolution (16 positions), its height requires adjustment to
compensate for wear.
1.
Using the included hex wrench, remove the scrap container, (
n
), and the scrap collector mechanism, (
o
), see “Fiber
Scrap Collector Mechanism Installation and Removal” below.
2.
Using the hex wrench, loosen, but do not remove the blade lock screw, (
