ADJUSTING DOWNWARD TRAVEL OF ABRASIVE WHEEL

A stop screw (A) Fig. 12, is provided to limit the downward travel of the abrasive wheel. This adjustment is made by loosening lock nut (B) and turning stop screw

(A) in or out as desired. Then tighten lock nut (B).

Fig. 13 illustrates edge of the arm casting (C) contacting stop screw (A) limiting the downward travel of the abrasive wheel. NOTE: As the abrasive wheel becomes smaller in diameter, because of wear, the downward travel of the wheel can be increased. When the blade is changed, the stop screw (A) Fig. 12 will need to be re- adusted to limit the downward travel of the wheel.
