After each uninstallation or replacement, make sure the pressure
plate sits correctly.
If necessary, readjust it.
The rear pressure plate (80) rests on two stud screws (83, Fig. 31) , which
enable height and parallel adjustment.
They can be accessed through bores on the bottom of the knife holder. An
Allen key No. 2 is required to make the adjustment.

• Insert the pressure plate (80) and tighten the
screws (82) only far enough that the pres-
sure plate remains moveable.
• Adjust the pressure plate with the stud
screws (83 - see Fig. 31 ) so that the contact
surface (84) for the blade (77) stands approx.
0.1 - 0.2 mm higher than the footprint of the
side flanges of the knife holder (85).
This is important primarily for instruments
whose knife holder base has no lateral
movement.
• When making an adjustment, make sure that
the pressure plate is aligned parallel to the
side flanges of the knife holder.
• Tighten the screws (82).
