The edge of the cutter wheel needs to overlap the edge of the feeder wheelby approximately the same value as the thickness of the metal to be cut. It isrecommended that a piece of scrap material of the type to be cut is used to determine theoptimum setting.3.1.2. To achieve this, firstly loosen both the upper and lower grub screws using the hex keyprovided.3.1.3. To increase the overlap, screw the lower grub screw in (clockwise) until the requiredoverlap is reached. Tighten the upper grub screw until a gentle clamping force is applied.3.1.4. To decrease the overlap, slacken the lower grub screw and turn the upper grubscrew clockwise until the required overlap is reached. Tighten the lower grub screw gentlyto lock the cutter wheel.3.1.5. If the cutter wheel is reluctant to move, use the flats on the tail of the cam shaft to movethe cutter wheel and reset accurately using the grub screws.3.2. CUTTING3.2.1. Having set the overlap, introduce the workpiece into the bite between the cutter wheel andfeed wheel.3.2.2. Make sure that waste side of the work is to the right (feeder wheel) side.3.2.3. Making sure that the pawl is sitting over the ratchet, pull the handle forward whilst applyingslight pressure with your other hand toward the cut.3.2.4.
