Cutter Adjustment
The purpose of this procedure is to adjust the cutter block to the left or right
so that the component carrying cardboard strip is sheared cleanly and with a
minimum of resistance.
If the clearance between cutters is too small, the blades will interfere with
each other and bind. If the clearance is too large, the edge of the cardboard
bends and tears rather than cutting. The clearance also has an affect on the
amount of force required to cut the cardboard and consequently the speed of
the forward stroke.
Prerequisites:
Feeder Preliminary Forward Stroke Adjustment
Driver Clearance Adjustment
1. Power down the machine and perform Lockout/Tagout according to
local procedures.
WARNING
The machine must be powered down and the local Lockout/Tagout
procedure performed to ensure personal safety during this procedure.
2. If necessary, remove the component carrying cardboard strip from the
feeder.

3. Remove the feeder from the machine.
4. Using the pin (p/n 30535802) supplied, manually push the main driver
forward until the cutting edges of the cutters are engaged.
5. Using a feeler gauge, check the clearance between the cutter blades as
illustrated. If .0015 inch (0,038mm) clearance exists, no adjustment is
required. Ensure the cutters are parallel and the clearance is consistent
the full length of the cutters. If adjustment is required, continue with
step 5.
6. Loosen the 2 hex head machine screws that secure the cutter holder.
