Adjust the gap between the knife and the upper guide plate to 1.5 mm (plate turned to or from the knife). Make sure that the gap does not exceed 2 mm otherwise the fish tails will be flawed (Figure 7.4). Gap between the upper guide plate shall be set 5-6 mm in front of the copper sheath of the separating knife and 10-14 mm behind the separating knife (Figure 7.5)
