How to Set Your Compact Straight Line Edgers for Perfect Glue Edges?

• Ripping Process
Use the Compact edger to rip the edge of two consecutive boards and place the two sawn edges together.

• Spacing Control
Use a feeler gauge to determine the spacing and evaluate whether you need to modify the position of the guideway at the front of the chain conveyor.

• Get Straight Edges
If your application requires straight edges, the adjustable guideway at the front of the chain conveyor should be adjusted perfectly in line with the chain bed.

• Adjust Front Guideways
1. Loosen the bolts (A) on the bottom of chain bed.
2. Loosen the bolt (B) with a maximum of a quarter turn counterclockwise.
3. Loosen the bolt (D) with a maximum of a quarter turn counterclockwise.
4. Tighten the bolts (C) with a maximum of a quarter turn clockwise.

• Get Hollow Edges
If your application requires hollow edges, the adjustable guideway at the front of the chain conveyor should be adjusted slightly away from the center of the chain bed.

• Adjust Front Guideways
1. Loosen the bolts (A) on the bottom of chain bed.
2. Loosen the bolt (B) with a maximum of a quarter turn counterclockwise.
3. Loosen the bolt (C) with a maximum of a quarter turn counterclockwise.
4. Tighten the bolts (D) with a maximum of a quarter turn clockwise.

• Note Prior Adjustment
Each compact edger is set according to customer requirements before leaving the factory, thus, do not change the settings if you are unfamiliar with the process.

Warning: do not adjust the guideway when the chain conveyor is running.

Caution: hollow joint position increases the abrasion of moving parts within the conveyor section.
