7. Check as shown in Figure 9 to see if the guide pad blade is dislocated or if the cutting dies are deformed. Because the gap between the cutting dies and guide pad blade and holes on the base plate is quite small, you can use a wrench to press the cutting dies to determine whether the cutting dies are deformed or the guide pad blade is dislocated. If the guide pad blade is dislocated, then fix it with screws; if the cutting dies are deformed, then a repair is needed.
