I have a different issue with my KitchenAid Artisan mixer (tilt head).

The screw under the head is for adjusting the head height for when the standard paddle and bowl are being used. First tip the whole machine upside down and tighten the hinge pin screw right up inside the pedestal post. Next reset the head height with flat paddle. Screw in is head down, screw out is head up. You want the paddle to just stop tinging the bowl on high speed.

Look at the bottom of the bowl to see if it's dented first. Replacing the bowl is the only fix.

You can adjust the mixer bowl up and down slightly. If you lower your bowl and look at the back you will see a little screw, it looks like a flat head screw and it is on the "neck" of the mixer.
You can raise and lower the bowl by adjusting this cam screw. You can tell that your bowl is adjust correctly by attaching the flat beater and put a dime in the bottom of the bowl, the beater should just barely touch the dime and move it around the bottom of the bowl.

The beater will not scrape the sides of the bowl, if you are wanting the sides of the bowl scraped I would recommend the Flex Edge Beater made by KitchenAid which is basically a flat beater with a rubberized edge which will scrape the side of the bowl as it rotates.

Here is a link to the flex edge beater on our website: http://www.mendingshed.com/kfe6l.html
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi, Put your mixers head in upright position and adjust the screw between the head and the stand. This will rise the head (one rotation is about 1 mm) and the attachement will not scrape the bowl.

Just adjust the screw between the head and the stand (when the head is in upright position) clockwise. This will rise the head, so it won't scrape the bowl.

There's an adjustment screw as shown in the picture.

Screwing this screw clockwise will raise up the bowl so the mixer paddle reaches closer to the bottom. Don't go too far, the paddle will start hitting the bowl.

If it is a tilt head mixer then adjust the screw which can be seen by tipping the head back and looking into the pivot point. Turn the screw CCW to raise the head and prevent the paddle from hitting the bottom of the bowl.

If it is a lift bowl mixer there is an adjusting screw on the frame of the stand behind the bowl holder mechanism. It rurns a cam which adjusts the height of the mixer.
See pg. 13 of the owners manual for bowl height adjustment procedure:

clockwise to lower the head and counterclockwise to raise the head for more clearance for the beaters.

It is going to low down. the adjustment should at the back of the unit.

There is an adjustment screw and a system for setting it. You can find a video of it here (or just a ton of people who know all about these mixers). I just found it while trying to troubleshoot the same problem for my wifes mixer.
