Re-aligning cutting head on Dahle paper trimmer

Pun

I have an elderly paper trimmer and have just displaced the cutting head by trying to cut too many sheets at once!

I've looked online for instructions on how to realign, but can only find newer models on YouTube etc. Mine is a Dahle CutCat BS 5498 and doesn't have lugs to remove at the end, screws underneath or anything else to help solve the problem.

I suspect nothing more than brute force is needed to remove one or other bit of plastic somewhere on the machine, but I'm reluctant to try without guidance! Please could anyone help?

Did just that and they were great. On a model this old, it is indeed just a question of yanking up the bar (takes quite a bit of determination but once you've done it, fixing the head back in place takes about 3 seconds).

Thank you!
