CUTTING CYLINDER Frequent fine adjustment of the cylinder to the bottom blade will give the best cutting performance and extend the period between sharpening. The design of the cylinder enables the trailling edge to be sharpened while the machine is in operation. It is recommended to reverse the cylinder at regular intervals ( eg each time the bottom blade is sharpened) in order to maintain a good cut. When a new bottom blade is fitted the cylinder should be cylindrically ground and be
