    Why does my Belshaw Brothers Kitchen Appliances cutter cut double when one cut per pocket is selected?
    • M
      Madison WilliamsSep 6, 2025
      Double cuts when one cut per pocket is selected may happen if: * The nylon brake dog is binding on the cutter brake motor; loosen the brake dog, replace the spring if it's missing or weak, and replace the brake dog if it's worn. * An internal wire is interfering with the nylon brake dog; move the wire. * The arm on the cutter head microswitch is bent; bend the arm back into position or replace the microswitch. * The wires on the cutter head microswitch are reversed; make the correct connections.
