Place a 4 in. x4 in.x12 in. (100 mm x l00 mm x 300

the mating surfaces of the cutting chamber, as shown.
Carefully close the chamber until it bears on the
wood block (4" from the closed position) with some
pressure and check that the limit switch shuts off the
jackscrew motor. Be prepared to stop the jackscrew
at the console switch in the event that the mounting
bracket switch is not properly set or is not
functioning correctly.
Open the cutting chamber and close it on the wood
block again to verify the switch operation. If the
switch is properly set, the jackscrew motor shuts
down immediately.
If the operation is satisfactory, replace the sheet
Make sure that no one is near the jackscrew or hopper.
Clear the mating surfaces of the cutting chamber of
any debris that might prevent tight closure.

(Cutting Chamber/Hopper) switch to the LOWER
position. Hold the switch till the hopper stops.
FASTEN THE CUTTING CHAMBER
