2.  To adjust the Elevation Tension Adjustment Screws,  loosen the lock  nuts, 
securing each screw in place.  Loosen or tighten each screw,  as required,  in 
1/4 turn increments to attain the desired fit and smoothness.  Retighten the 
lock nuts to secure the tension screws in position. 
 
3. Check the sanding drum to conveyor table alignment by first removing the 
abrasive strip from the drum.  The purpose of this adjustment is to achieve 
equal distances  at point A  and point B which will ensure that  the drum is 
parallel to the feed table and provide uniform sanding. (See Figures 10.)
