Adjustments

Disconnect machine from power source before making adjustments. Failure to comply may cause serious injury.

Lower Work Support

Inside the cabinet is a lower work support (Figure 13) which is used to support work pieces in the vertical position. To move this support up or down, loosen the locking handle (A, Figure 13). Tighten locking handle when finished.

To set the work support at level position, loosen the socket head cap screw (B, Figure 13) with a 6mm hex wrench, and loosen the locking handle (C, Figure 13). When finished adjusting, tighten locking handle (C, Figure 13) and socket head cap screw (B, Figure 13).

Locking Handles

All locking handles (such as C, Figure 13) can be rotated if they are in the way of other machine parts. Simply lift straight out on the locking handle and rotate it, then release, making sure it seats properly.

Clamping Bars

The workpieces are clamped to the table by eccentric bars. Simply rotate the handle (A, Figure 14) until the workpiece is secured. Do not overtighten the clamping bars to prevent denting the workpiece.

Both upper and lower clamping bars must be adjusted to match the thickness of your workpieces. Thickness is indicated on the adjoining scales mounted to the machine frame.

1.Loosen the two locking handles on the front edge of the frame (B, Figure 14).

2.Rotate the knurled adjustment pieces (C, Figure 14) on both sides of the machine until the indicator line on the adjustment piece matches the desired thickness on the adjoining scale. It is important that both knurled adjustment pieces be rotated the same to ensure the clamping bar is parallel to the table.

3.Tighten locking handles (B, Figure 14).
