Memo

Before installing the cap frame, be sure to adjust the ring of the cap frame driver and the height of the L-shaped bracket. (If the same machine is being used, this adjustment is only required the first time that it is used. In addition, this adjustment is not necessary if the enclosed cap frame is installed.)

After the ring of the cap frame driver and the height of the L-shaped bracket have been adjusted, they must be adjusted again if a different machine is being used. The height may differ depending on the machine that is used. For details, contact your sales representative.
