The top slide clearance tolerance has been set in the
factory but may at some time need to be adjusted.
The clearance should be between 0.06 ~ 0.10 mm. If the
clearance is not in the tolerance range, then the clearance
must be adjusted by the following steps below
To adjust the top slide.
1. DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SUPPLY
2. The two slides adjustment bolts can be found at the
back of the machine. (Fig.6.4)
3. Using a feeler gauge between the slide and the keeper
plate, check the clearance. If the clearance is not
between 0.06 ~ 0.10 mm then adjustment is required.
(Fig.6.5)
4. To adjust, loosen the two lock nuts on one side (Fig. 6.6)
and adjust the bolts until the clearance is within the
tolerance.
5. Tighten the two lock nuts and repeat the process on
the other side of the machine.
6. Once completed, check the clearance again.
7. Once the slide clearance has been set then the “Setting
