MACHINE ADJUSTMENTS
Two of the rollers have an eccentric tension adjuster, they
are the ones that have a hexed shaped portion beneath
the “V” roller.
1. To adjust, loosen the center bolt using a 1/2" wrench,
and then with another wrench to hold the hex, rotate
the hex slightly and the roller will either tighten or
loosen as the hex eccentric is turned.
2. Give it a little tension and tighten the center screw, try
the feed handwheel and check the resistance. The
rollers should NOT be able to rotate by hand, that
would be too loose.
