Fig. 30: Setting the cutting gaps
• Use a (BL) feeler gauge to check the cutting gap between all three (SL)
cutting bars. The gap should be at least 0.3 mm.
The (BL) feeler gauge must be put on the two cutting surfaces as shown in the illustration. The
cutting gap must have the same spacing along its entire depth. Check the cutting gap along its
entire depth therefore.
The cutting edge with the smallest spacing from the knife marks the cutting gap (SP1/2). The
second cutting edge can have a larger cutting gap.

• Turning the studs (U) in a clockwise direction pushes the cutting bar closer
to the rotor knife and reduces the cutting gap accordingly. Turning in an anti-
clockwise direction increases the cutting gap.
