maintain the cutting precision follow the instructions below. The cylinder blade should always cut
cleanly and evenly when set correctly. The blades are a wearing item and as such will need
periodic sharpening to maintain the cut precision.

The cylinder blades should be adjusted so that they lightly touch the bottom blade. Test with
paper at several positions across the bottom blade to ensure it is adjusted correctly across the
width of the blade. Place the test paper between the cylinder and the bottom blade. The paper
should cut cleanly and the cylinder rotates easily.
