5. Check the tension of the two V-belts located under the gear cover. You should be able to
depress the belts about 1/2” (12.7mm) with normal finger pressure. If they are too tight you
could damage the shaft bearing.
6. Select the slowest spindle speed (70 RPM) and let the machine run at that speed for 20
minutes. If everything seems to be functioning normally, increase the spindle speed a step at
a time until you reach the maximum speed of 2000 RPM. Run each speed change for
approximately 5 minutes.
Important: Make sure motor has completely stopped before changing speeds.
MACHINE ADJUSTMENTS
Saddle Gib
Before adjusting the saddle gib, loosen the setscrew
counterclockwise (ccw) as indicated by the arrow.
It is important that the saddle gib be properly adjusted. A loose
gib can cause finish issues on a piece part, and a gib that is
adjusted too tight can cause premature wear.
The gib adjustment for the saddle is located on the bottom of
the back edge of the slide. The tension on the gib is set with
four setscrews and jam nuts (2 at each end) as shown.
The gib can be tightened by loosening the jam nuts and
tightening the setscrews. Loosening the setscrews will loosen
the gib. A 45° turn of the setscrew will give about 0.005”
(0.125mm) take up in the gib. When properly adjusted, the gib
strip will drag slightly while moving the apron. DO NOT over
tighten.
WARNING:
Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on
the machine.
Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis by qualified personnel.
Always follow proper safety precautions when working on or around any machinery.
