SETUP:
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.
Screw the setter onto the edge of a suitable fixture
ensuring sufficient clear room for handle rotation. Turn the handle until the blade clamp
wedge (20) rises and releases the clamp block (37) and fit the blade between the blocks
with teeth facing towards the picker (13). Slacken the clamping bolts (35) on the vertical
posts and move the support posts (24) on the side of the setter up or down so that the
teeth tips are approximately 2 mm (1/16”) above the centre of the adjustable cone
point setting screws. (23)
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.
Adjust the tooth pushing picker (13) (by
loosening the 6mm socket set screw (33) inside it’s pivot bush (8) and move it so as
to present the tooth immediately along side the cone point setting screws (23) when at
it's maximum push. Ensure the picker is pushing central to the tooth and will not slip to
either side of the tooth.
