Change the cut and hold knives by following the procedure below and referring to
figure 8.51 on the previous page:
1. Loosen the two M6 setscrews that hold the knife clamp plate (B) in place using
a 10 mm spanner or socket, beware of knife blade!
2. Remove used knife noting that there is a spare knife blade held by the bottom
of the knife clamp plate (B).
3. Place spare knife in the working position and place a spare knife underneath,

Cut and hold rail adjustment
After much use, the moving part of the cut and hold, rail (C) may develop wear. In
such a case this may be adjusted, to ensure optimum working of the cut and hold.
While referring to figure 8.52 adjust as follows:
1. Insert a 24 mm open ended spanner into slot (D) until it engages with hexagon
on adjuster cam (E).
2. Loosen M12 nyloc nut (B) on adjuster slightly, just enough to turn adjuster,
which works on a cam principle.
3. Turn adjuster (preferably clockwise from cam side E), with a 24 mm spanner ,
until the resistance to turning increases greatly.
4. Hold resistive pressure on the adjuster cam (E) and tighten the M12 nyloc nut.

The cut and hold assembly can be adjusted through three different horizontal
positions if desired. The factory set position is position (2) as shown in figure 8.52.

carefully place setscrews into the desired position, (1, 2 or 3).
2. Place M12 spacer between cut and tie and the chassis and tighten M12 nyloc
