Selecting the Clip Rate (Reel
Speed)
To achieve a consistent, high quality of cut and a
uniform after-cut appearance, it is important that the
reel speed be matched to the height of cut.
Important:
If the reel speed is too slow, you may
notice visible clip marks. If the reel speed is too
fast, the cut may have a fuzzy appearance.
Adjust the clip rate (reel speed) as follows:
1.
Verify the height-of-cut setting on the cutting
units. Use the column of the chart listing
either 5 or 8 reels, and find the height-of-cut
listing nearest the actual height-of-cut setting.
Look across the chart to find the number that
corresponds to that height of cut.
