If the mark is too shallow….
1. Remove the character dial from the machine. Insert the end of a 3/32” hex key
into any of the holes in the capstan screw (30), and turn the capstan screw four
or five holes counter clock-wise. This will move the ram downward and closer to
the piece to be marked.
2. Readjust the depth adjustment screw (39-44) clockwise so that when the
operating handle is pulled down it stops slightly above the 9 o’clock (horizontal)
position.
3. Replace the character dial on the ram and pull down on the operating handle
to make a mark on the tag. If the mark is still too shallow, repeat steps 1 & 2. If
mark is acceptable, remove the character dial and tighten the 3/32 set screw
(located near the top of the ram). Replace the character dial on the ram. Your
depth of character is now completed.
When the depth of mark is satisfactory for your application, you may experience
the table skipping when you make a mark. This is common when a depth of
mark adjustment is made by changing the capstan screw position.
Adjusting the Table Spacing on the Model 4 and 6
1. Remove the character dial from machine.

4. While holding the table with your left hand, push in and hold the space button
(2-24), and slide the table off the machine to the left.
5. Turn depth adjustment screw (39-44) counter clockwise approximately five
turns, then pull operating handle (32-33) down until the shaft of the operating
handle rests on the table slide assembly - leave the handle in this position
throughout the following procedures.
