ADJUSTING THE END PLATE/MEASURING ARM
Loosen the three nuts (A) that hold the End Plate in
position (they are on the underside of the base). Adjust
the angle of the Measuring Arm and End Plate to close
the gap by a quarter. Tighten the nuts and repeat the
test, make further adjustments if necessary.
(A)
SQUARING THE MAT GUIDE
Place a strip of matboard under the Cutter Bar so that it
does not protrude to the left of the Cutter Bar. Move the
Matguide across to touch the Cutter Bar and tighten the
Wing Bolt (W).
The Matguide should be parallel with the Cutter Bar and
should touch long its whole length.
If not loosen the three Matguide Adjustment Screws (B)
and the Wing Bolt, move the Matguide to the right until it
touches the Cutter Bar along its whole length.
Tighten the Wing Bolt, then the Adjustment Screws
whilst holding the Matguide onto the Cutter Bar.
(W)
(B)
Rotate the mat a quarter of a turn
counter-clockwise but this time place
the bottom edge on the Measuring
Arm/End Plate and slide it to the left
until it comes into contact with the
Cutter Bar.
If the mat comes into close contact
with the Cutter Bar along its whole
length the machine is square
CONTINUED
IF THERE IS A GAP
between the matboard
and the Cutter Bar, then
the machine requires
adjustment and this gap
represents four times the
error of the machine.
