CUTTER DATA: See specific cutter specifications.
OPERATIONS: The solenoid valve, which is remote
mounted, is attached to the cutter (item #3) by a
plastic hose and advances the cutter into the mate-
rial. Compression springs return the blade to the
raised position. The cutter raised position is moni-
tored by a proximity switch mounted on the rear of
the cutter (item #4).
ADJUSTMENTS: The cutter blade may be lowered
manually by pushing down on the head of the cutter. The upper half of the cutter is attached to an adjustable slide. The
cutter clearance can be adjusted by loosening 2 screws (item #1) and rotating the hex nuts (item #2). To adjust, loosen one
side and tighten the opposite side corresponding to the side you want to adjust in order to line up the blades. Retighten the
top screws (item #1). When greasing, use Mobilux No. 2 or equivalent.
