How to adjust the blade so it cuts square?
1005062
My experience with this type of stack cutter is very limited as I was NEVER able to get it to cut consistently straight. I actually returned the item. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get it to hold a stack of even 1/2" of paper straight. I really tried a variety of methods. When the blade came down, it would skew the stack. I finally gave up.

Mine cuts square as long as I make sure the paper is held down tight enough. I'm cutting books and entire reams of paper, sorry if this doesn't help.

you know that thing between the knife? one with a lot of curves, you just need to push it to the left and force the blade down

I adjusted the blade as Sonya suggested and also moved the corer blade by loosening the screw. Once you have the adjustments made, it will be set to use. Made my first apple pie for the fall!

I haven't used mine enough to warrant changing the blade. I really don't have an answer to your question. Sorry.

Loosen two screws on blade and adjust straight then tighten screws. Lots of helpful videos on YouTube about this clipper

There is a rigid plate on the inside of the handle. Pull it to the side and push the blade down

There is a Philips screw and a hex nut on the blade portion to change blades and adjust tension. As seen in the picture.

M. Ruiz, there's a little black plastic piece that lookes like a screw on the side turn that to adjust the clippers. if you still have your instructions you can find a better description there hope that helps.

Only on the presets with the model I bought. I believe the model up has locks on it that will allow you to cut at any angle.

There is a tab that you have to push out where the blade meets the handle. Simple once you know how to do it.

Hi, I can't see why you would want to,I believe the square cut is basically to use with circular saws only I would think, cheers

There are two pairs of adjusment screws at each end of the stationary blade that alter the distance between it and the moving blades. Loosen both (on each side) in order to make the adjustment. Mimic or repeat the number of screw turns on each side carefully to keep the whole thing in balance or symmetrical. It doesnt take much. I find the best cut results when there is a slight scraping sound as the moving blades move across the stationary blade. My neighbor thinks there should be no sound. We both think its important to spray the blades with WD 40 after each use. Regardless of how you set the blade, my wont easily cut anything tall, you have to circle or make a few passes to cut some types of weeds. I use it on zoysia grass and like the results. It is also difficult to cut real thick or spongy grasses. Hopefully you are aware of its limitations. I was surprised at the quality, fearing it would be Chinese drek, it may well come from China, but seems well built. The height adjustment mechanism is disappointing (takes too long) but considering the price is OK. I find it good upper arm exercise, takes about the same amount of time as a power mower without dealing with gas, noise, or flying objects. Remember there are some types of grasses it wont cut well, have a neighbor with a power mower mow them low for you, then you can keep them low with this mower.

Ditch the square, follow your line using the cut guide at the front of the base plate. You'll cut much straighter that way than you will watching the blade cut the line. The only time you should be watching the blade is when you start and finish the cut. A speed square is handy for getting that extra precise 90 degree cut, but there should be a point where you don't need it for most framing related cuts. If what you're doing requires an extra precise cut that will be seen, I don't see why you can't still use the square in your left hand, just let your waste fall to the right. You could also just get used to cutting with your opposite hand, it's good to be ambidextrous with a circular saw.

cut into half, and cut again. I had returned this due to Blade was not straight.

Yeah, just line it up with the given line, and close it slowly, the one I got has a pretty sharp blade, I even cut a grain of rice.

No you cannot adjust the width because the curved, horseshoe shaped blade is just one size, about 1/4".

Either stand it straight up and just angle the knife to the angle you desire and just keep it slow and consistent, or lay it flat and find the angle you desire and keep that consistent. Start with sharpening your blade with the point of the stone first (20 passing on each side of blade) then use the flat part of the stone (also 20 passes with each side of the blade)
