REEL TO BED KNIFE ADJUSTMENT
Pre-single point adjustment units.
Fig.19
When the reels are sharp, and correctly adjusted to the
bed-knife, they will cut paper as clean as scissors.
To adjust the reel blade to bed-knife clearance :
Check the Bed-knife and the Bed-knife Holder
Screws for tightness.
Compress the Telescopic Arm with the belt
release tool, to allow the Reel to be rotated.
CAUTION
The Telescopic Arm is heavily ‘spring loaded’. Exercise
care when compressing it to avoid personal injury.

Turn the reel manually. If the reel blades contact
the Bed-knife, turn the Reel Adjusters CCW until
there is no contact.
Back-off the lock-slug screw and turn each reel
adjuster CW, in small amounts, until the reel
blades ‘just’ contact the bed-knife.
Adjust the reels to give an even cut across the full
length of the bed-knife.
Tighten the lock-slug screw.
