IMPORTANT Adjusting the lower cylinders (rest):
By adjusting the lower cylinders (rest), you can set the bevel angle.
Proceed as follows:
-
Loosen the central cylinder screw sufficiently (position A, Fig. 5.3.2).
-
Raise or lower the rest by means of the lower right screw (position B, Fig. 5.3.2).
If the left-hand support screw hampers lowering the lower rest, loosen it.
-
Meanwhile, check the graduated scale (position D, Fig. 5.3.2), making sure the
desired value has been reached.
(The transition between two materials serves as a guideline)
-
After setting of value of size of bevel, you have to adjust also the left screw as
follow. Tighten this screw up to touch with body of bottom support and after that
turn more around one or two for lift on up to horizontal position.
During this operation the right screw has to be still in contact with the body of
bottom support.
Important:
The scale value (position D, Fig. 5.3.2) corresponds to the difference between the
bevel height (dimension A in Fig. 5.3.1.0) and the total material thickness.
So you set the so-called facet (feather, butt) on the scale (dimension C,
Fig. 5.3.1.0).
(Therefore, to adjust a bevel size of 8x8x45º on 10-mm-thick material, you must
set a scale value of 2 mm.)
It is necessary to realize that when setting the facet height, you cannot set a value
at which the hypotenuse length of the bevel created (dimension P, Fig. 5.3.1.0)
exceeds 15 mm (maximum performance of the machine). You can check that in
the table (Fig.5.3.1.1).
-
After adjusting the lower rest, firmly tighten the central cylinder screw
(position A, Fig. 5.3.2) and the left-hand support screw to the rest. Secure both
the left and right-hand support screw with the locknuts included (position C,
Fig. 5.3.2)
-
Finally, check whether the main central cylinder is loose and can rotate freely.
