4. Turn the Belt Tension Lever (B - fig.6), anticlockwise so that tension is applied to the
belts. Tension is correct when the belts deflect by approx. ½” at their centres of run
when using reasonable thumb pressure. Lock the motor in this position with the Lock
Knobs.
NOTE: The idler pulley will ‘float’ so that tension is applied equally to both belts
CHECKING THE OPERATION OF THE MICROSWITCH
IMPORTANT:
When closing the pulley cover, check the operation of the Microswitch. It is important
that it operates immediately the cover is pulled open, to stop the motor,........NOT when
the cover is opened sufficiently for fingers to be inserted.
If necessary, bend the actuating tab, which is attached to the cover, to ensure this.
G. Pulley Cover Knob.
Locate the knob, with pan head screw, and attach to the cover, screwing on tightly.
SETTINGS and ADJUSTMENTS
1. Table.
Table shown tilted and
swivelled about the column
The table may be raised,
lowered or swivelled about the
column, by slackening off the
table support locking handle,
(Fig.9), adjusting accordingly,
using the table crank, and re-
tightening the locking handle.
If the table assembly moves
stiffly when being swivelled
about the column, slacken the
upper collar grub screw (at the
rack) to allow the collar to move
very slightly, thereby providing a
little more clearance between

rack and collar. Tighten the grub screw when satisfied.
The table may also be tilted, as shown in fig.8, as follows:
The table is secured to the table support with a single
M20x50mm screw, shown at A - fig. 10, and is located by peg B.
In order to tilt the table, it is first of all necessary to remove peg
B. This is achieved by screwing the nut - C, clockwise i.e.
screwing ‘in’. The peg will be
drawn out as you do so.
With the locating peg removed,
slacken off the securing screw -
A, and tilt the table to your desired angle, as indicated on the
scale, shown in fig. 11, then tighten the securing screw A.
For all normal operations, the table should be set to 0° and
located by peg B, fig.10..
To return the table to its normal position,slacken the securing
screw - A, and tilt the table so that the mark on the table lines
up with the 0° mark on the tilt scale, as shown in fig. 11. Nip up
the securing screw (do not tighten).
