B. Re-Parallel The Mat Guide
TOOLS NEEDED: Phillips Screwdriver, Ruler.
To re-parallel the Mat Guide, first determine that the Mat Guide is out of parallel
by doing a parallel test.
Parallel Test:
1. Lock the Mat Guide at the 2" mark on the scale. Fig. 1
2. Place a scrap piece of matboard under the Guide Rail and up against the Mat
Guide at the far end of the machine.
3. Using a pencil, mark a line across the matboard.
4. Slide the mat all the way down near where you are standing keeping the mat
under the Guide Rail but not against the Squaring Bar.
5. Mark another line across the matboard.
6. The piece of matboard should now appear to only have one single line across
it. If the two lines drawn do not line up with each other, the Mat Guide needs
to be re-paralleled.
To Re-parallel:
1. Release the Mat Guide.
2. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to loosen the four screws one turn.
3. Place a ruler or straight edge between the Mat Guide and the Guide Rail. Fig. 2
4. Slide the Mat Guide against the straight edge and the Guide Rail. Make sure
both the Mat Guide and the Guide Rail are making solid contact on both sides
of the straight edge.
5. Re-tighten the Black Knobs first.
6. Then re-tighten the four screws. Do another parallel test to ensure that the Mat
Guide is now parallel.
