Assembling the rotating knives
1. Clean the cutter's knife location and place a rotating knife in the knife
location.
2. Fasten the screws (A) together with the washers (H) and tighten gently.
3. Adjust the knife using the setting
screws (B) to give the correct
amount of play, 0.15-0.30 mm
between the fixed and rotating
knives. Check using the feeler
gauge included in the tool kit.
4. When the correct amount of play
has been obtained, tighten the
screws (A) with a torque of 200
Nm.
5. Tighten the counter nut.
6. Re-check the amount of play.

setting screws (D) and (F). By
tightening screws (F) the knife is
moved towards the cutter's centre.
By tightening screws (D) the knife
