BLADE / PUSHER HEAD MAINTENANCE
1.Examine the pusher head fingers. If they are nicked or burred smooth the rough edges with a small flat file. The spaces between the fingers must be uniform. Straighten any bent fingers.
2.Check the clearance between the pusher head fingers and the blades. Make sure they do not rest on or touch the blades at any point when you move the head through its full travel. If there is contact, adjustments must be made. PUSHER HEAD FINGERS MUST NEVER CONTACT BLADES.
Adjust Pusher Head Finger spacing by placing a screwdriver between Pusher Head Fingers and gently rotate up/down. You may also adjust the entire Pusher Head Assembly by loosening the set screws underneath a rotating the guide rod as needed – tighten set screws.
