NOTE: For right hand operation (feed handle on right side) turn spring counter- clockwise to the next notch and engage with the 4mm cap screw.

6.Finger tighten inner nut against spring housing. Do not overtighten as this will restrict quill movement.

7.Loosen depth scale lock and check quill return by rotating feed handles, lowering quill.

8.Proper tension is achieved when quill returns gently to full up position when released from 3/4” depth.

9.If there is not enough tension on spring, repeat steps 5-8 moving only one notch each time and checking tension after each repetition.

10.After adjusting spring, replace outer nut and tighten to inner nut. But do not overtighten against inner nut.

11.Check quill movement to make sure it is smooth and unrestricted. If move- ment is too tight, loosen outer nut and slightly loosen inner nut until unre- stricted. Retighten outer nut.
