Check armature
This should be checked at least once a month to check if there are visual signs of damage to the body
or to the commutator. Some signs of wear will be seen on the commutator over a period of time this
is normal as this is the part that comes in contact with the brushes but any signs of abnormal damage
means the part should be replaced.
Adjustment of slide
An essential requirement of the machine is that the slide can move in a smooth and controlled
manner, free of lateral movement and vibration.
This situation can be maintained by periodic adjustment of the slide and can be accomplished in the
following manner:
1. Place the machine in an upright position and, by means of the capstan, raise the slide to its
highest position. Clean the aluminum rails and apply a small amount of light machine oil to
the wear surfaces;
2. Gently feed in setting screw with supplied Allen key 2.5 until slight resistance is encountered.
Follow your way down adjusting all setting nuts and screws;
3. Operate the slide up and down a few times to test the movement and make any further
necessary adjustments. Try to ensure that all the screws are exerting a uniform pressure on
the slide from top to bottom. A perfectly adjusted slide will operate freely up and down
without any sideways movement.
Lubricating the feed travel
The feed travel should be lubricated periodically with grease to ensure smooth operation.
- Raise the motor unit to the highest position possible;
- Lubricate the dove-tail guideway at both sides;
- Lubricate the gear rack.
After repeated use, the gear rack may become loose. If necessary, adjust the five self-locking set
screws at the left side. Tighten screws in series until the gear rack moves freely in the dove-tail
guideway but does not allow the motor to wobble.
