3.4.5 Backgauge Gib Adjustments
If the backgauge does not stay square or moves up and down or back and forth when jogging paper
against it, the backgauge gib screws may be loose or worn.
To Adjust:
1. Disconnect the power cord.
2. Place machine on a flat level surface on it’s left side.
3. Loosen the two gib screw jam nuts (Figure 14, page 16).
Figure 14
4. Tighten the two nylon set screws until they are just snug. They should be tight enough that
the hand crank will not moved when released from any position. Do not over-tighten the
screws. Lock in position with jam nuts.
5. Run the backgauge back and forth the length of the table and check for any binding.
Readjust if necessary. Lay the machine flat and reattach to the stand (if applicable).
3.4.6 Leadscrew Collars
Any play in the backgauge leadscrew should not cause inaccuracies in cutting. However, excessive
play can be eliminated by adjusting the leadscrew collars as follows:
1. Disconnect the power cord.
2. Place the machine on a flat level surface on it’s left side.
3. Loosen the two screws attached to each collar (Figure 15).
