4.Engage/disengage the half nut several times and notice how it feels (you may need to move the carriage handwheel slightly to get the half nut to close).

The half nut is correctly adjusted when it has a slight drag while opening and closing. The movement should not be too stiff or too sloppy.

5.Repeat Steps 3–4, if necessary, until you are satisfied with the half nut adjustment. (If the half nut becomes too stiff, turn the set screws counterclockwise to loosen it.

6.Re-install the thread dial.
