to ensure accurate results.

To adjust the table more than .016":

1.Remove the front cabinet cover.

2.On the underside of the table there is a chain drive and five sprockets as shown in Figure 13. The four sprockets in the corners control the movement of the table columns. The fifth sprocket is the idler sprocket that controls the chain tension. Loosen the two bolts on the idler sprocket bracket (as shown in Figure 13) to loosen the chain so that each sprocket can be rotated on its own. Make sure to hold the chain away from the sprocket while you adjust it.

3.Moving the sprockets clockwise lowers the table and moving them counter-clockwise raises the table. Each tooth on the corner sprockets equals .016" of vertical movement when the cogs are turned (see illustration in Figure 14). Make sure, as you adjust each sprocket, that you count the number of teeth that pass a fixed point.

Knowing how far you turned one sprocket will help you keep the other side consistent if you are adjusting two columns together.

4.After you have the table adjusted to within

.016" from front-to-back and from side-to- side, tighten the chain so all of the slack is removed.

5.Now follow the previous instructions for adjusting the table when it is less than .016" from its proper position.
