Zusammenfassung:A cutting assembly is configured to be coupled to a chassis of a mining machine. The cutting assembly includes a ranging arm configured to pivot about a pivot axis relative to the chassis, a motor supported by the ranging arm for the motor to move with the ranging arm about the pivot axis, and a drum including a plurality of cutting picks. The drum is supported by the ranging arm to be driven about a rotational axis by the motor. The cutting assembly includes a pitch adjustment actuator coupled to the ranging arm. The pitch adjustment actuator is operable to move the drum about a pitch axis. The pitch axis extends in a direction between the pivot axis and the rotational axis. 18251278_1 (GHMatters) P117683.AU cl LfO
