In this section you will need base brackets (part B) and short socket head screws (part * – delivered with the SmartFold Bench).

Continue placing the rest of the base brackets in this way.

Centralise and lower the cutter slowly onto the base brackets.

Ensure the holes on the arms of the cutter (highlighted in image) are aligned with the holes in the benches support plates.

Once the SmartFold is in place, use scissors to remove the film packaging.

The base brackets have 2 grub screws each located at the front and the back (see ‘ x’ and ‘ y’).

Use the long end of the 3mm Allen (hex) key rotate the grub screws in the front of the base brackets until you feel them come to a stop, do not tighten any further.
