adjustment is 0.5mm.
22. Back Gauge This is moved by rotating the Back Gauge Crank. Used to move the paper
stack into the appropriate cutting position.
23. LED Laser Cutting Line Shows operator exactly where the blade will cut the paper stack.
24. Blade Adjustment Access The blade height can be adjusted up to 2mm by using the adjustment screw.
To lower the blade (+), turn to the left. To raise the blade (-), turn to the right.
NOTE: If the blade is adjusted too low, it will cut deeply into the cutting stick,
damaging not only the stick but the cutting blade. The optimal blade height
is when the last sheet in a stack is cut accurately.
