12. Adjustment of the dovetail guides
In order to achieve optimum results when adjusting the dovetail guides, the relevant dovetail
guides should be cleaned and lubricated before you start (see "Lubricating the machine“)
Further all tensioning devices and loose parts should be removed from the machine table.
Pay attention to ensure that the clamping lever of the dovetail guide you wish to adjust is open.
To adjust the dovetail guides, proceed as follows:
1. Undo the lock nuts (1)
2. Set the adjustment bar of the relevant axis and all the associated threaded pins (2) in such a
way that the relevant axis has no play and can be moved with little force. To do this, the
appropriate skid should be moved during the setting process and checked for play and
appropriate ease of movement.
3. When the threaded pins (2) are set correctly, tighten the lock nuts (1) back up again
Only set the threaded pins (2) if they are in the range of the counter guide! To do this, the
skid may need to be moved into this area. Otherwise the dovetail guide may jam and this
may cause damages.
