Return Spring Adjustment

The return spring is adjusted at the factory and

should not need further adjustment. If adjustment is deemed necessary:

1.Unplug the machine from the power source.

2.Loosen two jam nuts (A, Fig. 9). Do not remove.

3.Firmly hold the coil spring cover (B, Fig. 9).

4.Pull out the cover and rotate until the pin (C, Fig. 9) on the return spring plate engages the next notch in the coil spring cover. Turn the cover clockwise to decrease tension and counter-clockwise to increase tension.

5.Tighten two jam nuts (A, Fig. 9). Do not over-tighten. Nuts should not contact the housing when tight. The jam nuts should be tightened against eachother.

Work Light

Install a light bulb, no larger than 60 watts into the socket accessed from beneath the head. The light bulb is controlled by the rocker switch (D, Fig. 9).

Table Tilt Adjustment

CAUTION!

Remove the alignment pin first and then loosen the hex cap bolt. Failure to comply may cause the table assembly to separate from the column and fall.

To tilt the table:

1.Turn nut (E, Fig. 10) clockwise to pull out the alignment pin (F, Fig. 10).

2.Loosen hex cap bolt (G, Fig. 10), and tilt the table to the desired angle.

3.Tighten the hex cap bolt (G, Fig. 10).

4.The alignment pin only works at 90° and must be reinserted when the table is returned to 90°.
