ADJUSTMENTS & MAINTENANCE
ADJUSTING SAFETY GUARD AND HOLD-DOWNS
This machine is equipped with a transparent safety guard (A) Fig.15
which protects the user from chips created during operation. It also keeps
the operator from coming in contact with the boring bits when changing
the workpiece. The safety guard positions itself automatically.
NOTE:
Before mounting or removing boring bits, always disconnect from
the power source and remove the safety guard.
To remove safety guard, loosen the top hex. nuts (B) on both hold-downs
until the safety guard bracket can slide out from underneath the hex. nuts.
Remove safety guard. Reinstall in the reverse order.
The hold-downs (A) Fig.16 are spring loaded, and engage automatically
when the feed handle is pulled down for boring.
To adjust the hold downs, the position of the hold-down bracket (B) Fig.16
must be adjusted. Loosen the cap screws (C) and move the hold down
assembly to the desired height.
ADJUSTING THE RETURN SPRINGS
The return springs (C) Fig.17 located at the rear of the column are used
to return the boring feed handle to its original position. Over time, the
spring may loosen slightly. If the spring becomes too loose, an adjustment
can be made.
Remove rear cover (A) Fig.17 by removing all 6 pan head screws (B).
Tension the return springs (C) to ensure it’s functioning properly by
tightening the top hex. nut (D).
