Dear customer.
Due to possible movement in shipping we have found that the setting of the tables to the blade should be checked and
adjusted as needed before 1
st
use.
Factory setting is 0.1 mm above outfeed table.
Ensure machine is not plugged in before checking the below and doing adjustments if needed.
With machine positioned where it will be used if possible. Open and close the
“
outfeed
”
table . Locking it in place. Open the in-feed table and leave up out of
the way. If already fitted, remove the black plastic guard off the front side of
machine that covers the spindle end, this will allow you to easily turn the spindle
by hand using the nut on the end of the spindle.
With a steel straightedge (A small steel ruler is good)
Sit straight edge on the middle of the table as shown above one of the blades.
Pressing down lightly on the straightedge carefully turn the spindle by hand
noting how far it lifts up the straightedge
and pulls it along before it stops moving
it .
A good amount is 2mm to 4 mm this
means cutter is approximately 0.1mm
above the table.
If it needs adjusting.
The top position Stop Nut on the table depth screw will need repositioning.
Please note to ensure table remains flat on every adjustment ensure on every
adjustment that the table lock lever is underdone. And after adjustment before
rechecking it is locked back up. Undo table lock lever.
Back off the table by turning the hand wheel anticlockwise.
NB: on initial use a 16 mm Spanner might also be needed on the nut to help turn the
hand wheel. To adjust table position. Undo the grub screw on the side of the
position stop nut and rotate the nut on the thread as needed.
Rotating it anticlockwise (down the thread) will mean the table will go up
further.(Move straightedge less)
Rotating clockwise (up the thread) will means the table will be lower
(move straightedge more)
After each adjustment, tightened the grub screw, wind the table up and down to the
top stop a couple of times leaving all the way up
and then lock the table lock lever
on the front of the machine.
Retest blades with the straightedge on the table
again and adjust if needed until the required
2 to 4mm movement is achieved
…
Remember to refit the black plastic guard that
covers the spindle end back onto the front of the
machine
When this is set, the Infeed table must be checked to ensure its top stop aligns
the infeed table with the outfeed table.
(Although not as critical as above Both tables must be the same height)
