1. Place the insert ring into the center
ring of the Excel II. (Fig. 18).
2. With the insert wrench provided,
insert the prongs of the wrench into
the corresponding holes in the insert
ring and turn the insert ring counter
clockwise to tighten.
Turn the insert wrench clockwise to loosen and
remove the ring. If the insert ring becomes too
tight to loosen with hand pressure, a tap
clockwise on the insert wrench with a block of
wood will loosen it.

RE-ADJUSTING THE THREAD TENSION
All JessEm Lifts feature our patented thread
tensioning design. Thread tension is set at
the factory and depending on the amount of
use you may have to reset this adjustment
periodically, depending on the amount of
tension you desire.
If the bit height ever begins to change (or
drop) during use, the thread tensioning likely
needs to be reset.
For this adjustment you will need to flip your
table over onto a clean flat surface.
**Refer to the chart below for fractional and
decimal adjustments based on mount of
revolutions made.
