Cutting Method
Prior to operation, the knife block (4) is in its topmost position and the sliding frame (10) in its
rearmost position.
If the moulding to be cut has a rebate, the rebate supports (31) are adjusted to the required
height.
The forward and rearward movement of the knife block (nibbling facility) is achieved manually
by moving the lever (13) into one of the notches available in the tooth arc (16), which is
suitable for the first cut.
To prolong the life of the knife blades, and achieve a perfect finish, three or four ‘nibbles’ of
the moulding should be made, remembering that the final notch is half the distance of the
remainder of the notches, and should always be used, as it is the ‘trim’ cut.
The pedal (34) is pressed downwards, and the cut is made. Relieving the foot pressure
allows the double return springs to return the knife block (4) back to the start position ready
for the next cut.
The lever (13) is now moved a couple of notches further to the right, depending on the
hardness of the wood, and the next cut is made. The penultimate cut should ALWAYS be
made on the next to last notch, allowing the final cut to be the ‘trim’ cut.
Even with small mouldings it is recommended to adopt this procedure, because even though
the machine is capable of cutting through quite large mouldings in one cut, the drawbacks
are many, including bruising the moulding, shattering synthetic mouldings, reduced knife
blade life, poor finish and excessive foot pressure required.
