TRIGGERING
1. The triggering of the rotation cycle is
accomplished through a dog wheel which is
mounted on the right side of the clutch unit.
2. The dog wheel, which is chain driven by the
metering wheel, trips the trigger which has locked
the cam into the braking position.
3. A cycle begins with the trigger locking the cam,
which places the rollers on the rise of the cam
incline. (This has pulled the pressure plate into
its braking position against the housing, and
holds the connecting rod at the top of its stroke,
which holds the cutting blade in the up position).
4. The metering wheel rotation, turns the dog wheel
which lifts the trigger and releases the cam.
5. The cam rotates the pressure plate and eccentric
shaft, to which the connecting rod is attached.
6. The down stroke of the connecting rod (attached
to the cutting blade) produces the cutting stroke
of the blade.

7. At the end of one revolution, the trigger slides
into the notch of the cam locking it into position.
The rollers are forced up the cam end incline,
pulling the pressure plate into its braking position
and locking the cutting blade in the up position.
