I have the parts cd but it does not include a Tech manual. I found the one on Melco but obviously it is for the XT, so no help there. I just got the machine and as far as I know the upper knife blade was never removed till I inspected it yesterday. Blade is sharp (machine didn't have any hours on it), there was no dirt or dust. I had a new presser spring so I replaced that. I didn't make any other adjustments but assumed from the parts manual that the set screws were probably my only adjustment. I will do the swipe test and see what I get. Thanks again and I will let you know how I make out. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
