B. Adjusting movable and fixed knife (See Figure 49.)
a) Like in Figure 49, adjust the position of the fixed knife ③ so that the fixed knife right side edge ② matches the
movable knife inner side edge ①.
b) The initial assembling position of the movable knife ④ is where the movable knife-edge protrudes about 3 mm
from the edge of the fixed blade. Please check the “final fixing of the movable knife initial position”on page 29.
c)
The surface adhesion conditions ⑤ of fixed blade edge and movable knife upper side have huge impact on its
trimming capacity. Please note the various cases of movable/fixed knife surface adhesion conditions on the picture.
[Correcting the adhesive conditions of movable and fixed knives]
Like in Figure 49, operate manual trimming movement with color ink on the movable knife-edge. By checking
the ink trace remaining on the movable knife, the surface adhesion condition of the movable/fixed knives can be
tested.
If the surface adhesion is not very good (same method is used to adjust the tension of movable/fixed knives),
please use the following methods: adjusting the amount and position of the washer ⑦ in the lower side of the
movable knife base ⑥, horizontally adjusting the assembling position of movable knife shaft collar ⑧, and
correcting the shape of fixed blade ⑨ setting position.
[Checking the surface adhesion]

side of the movable knife-edge
