Adjust the cutting head spacing
To adjust and set the cutting head spacing, use the locking knob and ruler. Manually tighten the locking
knob. Do not use tools. To maximize material usage, spacing should be set slightly larger than the parts
being cut or to an even multiple of the part size. The offset to the head centerline (5 cm) is noted on the
cutting head carriage for easy reference.
Note that the tubing may be slightly stiff, so not all positions on the spreader are available. If it resists
being adjusted, don’t force it. Allow the tubing to relax, tighten the fittings, and then slide to the desired
position on the spreader bar. Otherwise, it will be harder to get a good, leak-tight connection.
WARNING! Do not adjust the cutting head spacing until after the system is depressurized.
