Adjusting the Height of Cut
Note: For heights of cut greater than 2.54 cm (1 inch) install
the High Height-of-Cut Kit.

to the cutting-unit side plates

the adjusting screw to the desired height of cut. The
distance between the bottom of the screw head and the
face of the bar is the height of cut.

bedknife and rest the rear end of the bar on the rear
roller
(Figure

the gauge bar

Important: When set properly, the rear and front
rollers will contact the gauge bar and the screw
will be snug against the bedknife. This ensures
that the height of cut is identical at both ends of
the bedknife.
5. Tighten the nuts to secure the adjustment. Do not
overtighten the nuts—just enough to remove any play
from the washer.
