LWAYS DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY SERVICE
,
MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR WORK
!
1. Verify that electrical power has been disconnected.
2. Loosen the socket head cap screw in the motor bracket.
3. Carefully slide the motor further toward the bracket to increase the routing depth, or move the motor out of the
bracket to decrease the routing depth.
4. Only a small movement (0.1 – 0.5mm = 0.004 – 0.020”) is necessary to make a noticeable difference.
Increasing the depth will increase the “draw” or pull of the Key, resulting in a tighter joint.
5. Tighten the socket head cap screw – “hand tighten” only.
6. Re-connect the electrical power supply and make a test cut. If the new setting is unsatisfactory, the above
steps are repeated.
