ADJUSTING HEIGHT
OF INFEED ROLLER
The infeed roller is adjusted at the factory at 0.040"
below the cutting circle. To check and adjust the
height of the infeed roller, proceed as follows:
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER
SOURCE.
1. Make sure the knives are adjusted properly as
explained under “CHECKING, ADJUSTING AND
REPLACING KNIVES.”
2. Place the gage block (A) Fig. 42, on the table directly
underneath the cutterhead, as shown. Using a
0.040" feeler gage (B) placed on top of the gage
block, raise or lower the head assembly until one of
the knives just touches the feeler gage when the
knife is at its lowest point. Then tighten the head
locking knobs.
3. Move the gage block (A) Fig. 43, minus the feeler
gage, under one end of the infeed roller (C). The
bottom of the infeed roller (C) should just touch the
top of the gage block (A), as shown.
4. If the height of the infeed roller must be adjusted,
loosen nut (D) Fig. 43, and turn adjusting screw (E)
until that end of the infeed roller just touches the top
of the gage block. Then tighten nut (D).
5. Repeat this adjustment with the gage block on the
opposite end of the infeed roller.
