handwheel will rotate a few degrees before the table
begins to move and the graduated dial must be adjusted.
This is backlash.

1.
Turn the handwheel in the opposite direction of your
next operation.
2.
Turn the handwheel to move the table in the
intended direction.

When the leadscrew catches and the table begins
to move, backlash has been eliminated and the
graduated dial can be "zeroed."
Note:
You will not need to adjust for backlash as
long as the table moves in the same direction.
