SETTING UP SETTER:

Attach the handle.

Slide the middle strut of the 3-pronged blade support frame over the protruding 25mm square at the rear of the setter and secure it by tightening the 6mm screw. The three telescoping support arms are extended to suit blade length and locked in position. Blade support legs are adjusted to a suitable height and locked with the 6mm screws in each end.

Ensure the blade is presenting level and adjust the remaining 3 vertical posts on the telescoping arms to comfortably support the remainder of the blade.

Rusted or gummed blades must be cleaned to ensure a smooth progression. Gummed blades will also cause setting errors by forcing the blade to one side of the clamp. The objective of this set-up procedure is to achieve a smooth, but controlled passage of the blade through the setter.

Back off the 6mm cone point setting screws (23) using the 3mm hexagonal key provided. The cone point setting screws are retained from unintentional loosening by 90 degree locking screws (22) positioned on top of the setting yoke. These locking screws have a plastic pad (21) between their points and the setting screws to prevent to the thread damage and should be adjusted to apply only enough pressure to keep the setting screws firm.

The handle may be rotated in either direction but the clamping mechanism must be timed in relation to the feed cam.

The handle must be turned in the direction which enables the tooth to be indexed when the clamp is released. The machine is factory set to produce a left - right - straight sequence with a clockwise handle rotation. To produce the opposite sequence of right - left - straight, loosen the 6mm socket set screw (grub screw) securing the feed cam (4) to the camshaft (38), rotate the cam 180 degrees and retighten the socket set screw into the opposing dimple in the camshaft.
