fletcher is incredibly helpful if you call them.
they will talk you through adjustments, etc.

i will post the number, when i get to the shop, later. (my partner calls them, he did photographic printing for about 40 years, so he takes the lead on this sort of thing.

GET A PART NUMBER FROM THEM, if something is needed. several of the major resellers give20% or more off common parts orders, while fletcher, INCREDIBLY HELPFUL RESOURCE will charge full list for parts

If you're referring to the rotary cutter, don't lock it into place. When it's locked, the center point between the blades doesn't line up with the center of the sheet stock, especially with thicker materials (thus, putting too much pressure on one side). Instead, just leave the set screw "out". I'm not even sure why they have a set screw for that accessory anyway... it doesn't do anything but cause issues.
