Blade/Cut Adjustment Procedure

Before commencing any blade adjustments it is very important that the cutting units are

thoroughly cleaned and dry.

To check that the blades are cutting

correctly use a strip of paper as shown.

With the strip of paper held square to

the bottom blade, rotate the cutting

cylinder and see if the blades will cut

the paper with minimal blade contact

set. Check this at intervals all of the

way across the blades. Never rotate

the cutting cylinder using your hands

as the blades are very sharp and can

cause serious injury. Use a short

length of wooden pole to rotate the

cylinder.

If the paper is not cut you will need to

move the bottom blade towards the

cutting cylinder.

To do this, rotate the bottom blade

adjusting nut anti clockwise as shown.

There are two adjuster nuts, one on each

side of the machine. Initially make sure

that you adjust both of them by the same

amount at the same time in order to keep

the bottom blade parallel to the cylinder.

Only ever adjust them by small amounts

at any time.

Check the cut again by using a strip of

paper as previously explained. Once

again please remember to never put your

hand into the cutting cylinder.

If the paper is still not cut correctly all of

the way across the blades then repeat the

above process of adjustment until this is

achieved.

If one side cuts paper but the other side

does not, then adjust the side that is not

cutting a little bit more than the other

until both sides cut the same.

Please note that Baroness blades are designed to run non-contact and so do not over

tighten them.

If you are unable to achieve an acceptable cut with just a light contact after performing

the above adjustments then the blades have become a little blunt and so will need back-

lapping (see TIL: 036)

NOTE: If when you turn the blade adjustment nut the bottom blade does not move and

the adjustment nut just comes loose, then there is a good chance that the bottom blade

pivot pins have seized, thus not allowing the bottom blade to rotate on these pivot pins.

If this happens you will need to refer to TIL: 033 which explains the maintenance

procedure.

Once the blades are cutting paper on both

sides you need to check that you do not

have excessive blade contact.

To do this you need to use another strip of

paper but this time hold it flat along the

surface of the bottom blade as shown.

When you rotate the cutting cylinder the

paper should not be cut but should just

leave an indentation line. If it does this it

is set ok. If it cuts the paper then the

contact is too great and the blades will

need adjusting to provide a slightly less

contact. This is done by turning the blade

adjuster nut clockwise by a small amount.

Only adjust the side which is too tight. If

both sides are too tight then adjust them

both but remember to only use small

adjustments and to keep checking both

sides.

The blades are correctly adjusted when

both sides cut paper when it is held

square to the bottom blade but only

leaves an indentation in the paper when it

is held flat.
