Adjusting the Toe Plate

If the toe plate rubs the floor covering, the toe plate clear-
ance may be changed as follows:
1. Mark on each side of the toe plate the amount of toe
plate that rubs the floor covering.
2. Remove the drawer from the unit. (See step 3 in the
"Unpacking Your Compactor" section.)
3. Use a ruler and a pencil or chalk to draw a line
between the marks on each side of toe plate.
4. Use scissors or utility knife to cut toe plate along line.
5. Replace drawer. If toe plate still rubs floor covering,
repeat steps 1-4.
