The home position proximity switch should be 0.010 inch from the 5/16 inch thread rod on the cutter head for proper operation.

1 Open the flywheel clear guard window.

2 Locate the 5/16 inch thread rod on the cutter head. It should be 0.010 inch from the proximity switch sensor when it passes that location. If necessary, loosen the jam nuts, readjust the distance, and re-tighten the jam nuts.

DANGER: Sharp blades!

Always wear cut-resistant gloves when the cut- ting chamber is open and when handling blades. Never open cutting chamber without locking out the cutter power.

Most injuries caused by knife blades occur when the cutter has been turned off. Handle blades with care at all times.

3 If the proximity switch does not sense the cutter head after this adjustment, remove the switch and test it outside the cutter. Replace if necessary.
