1. To adjust the fi rst fold open the top cover to access the top fold plate. If the fi rst fold is too long loosen the
two thumbscrews and slide the bar down. If the fold is too short loosen the thumbscrews and slide the bar up.
NOTE: The bar should be on the same marks on each side.
2. To adjust the second fold remove the lower fold plate. If the second fold is too long loosen the two thumb-
screws and slide the bar up. If the fold is too short loosen the thumbscrews and slide the bar down.
NOTE: The bar should be on the same marks on each side.
3. For quick setup of “C”, “Z” and “V” folds look for the blue lines on the fold plate.
