anvil (f). Check for a good fit:

Max rail height : 1-3/4 “ (44.5mm). Min rail height: 5/8 “ (15.9mm).

There should be 1/8” (3.18mm) of clearance between the rail and the side plate cutout edge (G) above it.

To raise or lower the anvil to the right height, depress the blue button on the end of the quick release pin (H). Remove pin. Position the anvil as needed so rail is at the right clipping height. Select opening in side plate that aligns best with one of the two openings in the anvil, and slide the pin in.
