Adjustment.

point of blade intersection. Due to inclined travel

of knife bar, the reading will not be correct if
checked at any other point. Use a sweeping mo­
tion with feeler gauge, Fig. 30, rather than a jab­
bing motion.
5. Continue rotating flywheel, check clearance
every 12 inches, until blades intersect midway
between last two blade bolts. Check clearance
with feeler gauge.
6. Taking same safety precautions, rotate fly­
wheel until blades· intersect at center of table.
Check clearance. The center clearance should
be .001" less than _the clearance given for ends.

BLADE ADJUSTMENT - PROCEDURE Fig. 29 - Blades Intersection Point.

All power units have four table bolts on each end
except 3/s" and ½" shears, which have five on
each end. See Fig. 31, single (solid) end frame
shear for location. See Fig. 32 double end frame
shear for location.
If blade clearance check shows a deviation from
blade clearance tag by switch, proceed:

1. Loosen table bolts required, Fig. 31 or Fig. 32.

a. On one end of table if deviation is only on
one end, or,
b. Loosen bolts on both ends if deviation is
on both ends.
Sometimes pressure from table adjusting
lug, Fig. 31 or Fig. 32, will move the table
back to its original position. Fig. 30 - Checking Blade Clearance
Feeler Gauge.
