Lubricate the index arm pivot (D) and the feed shaft bearings (E). Apply NLGI No. 2 grade
lithium grease to the grease fittings.
Check the setter blocks (F) and clamp pads (G) for wear. If the top edge of the clamp pad
is worn, remove the mounting screw and rotate the pad 90° and replace the screw. When
all four sides are worn, replace the pad. If the setter block is worn, regrind the block to 22°
or replace.
Check adjustment knob tensions. The setter block and index arm backstop adjustment
screws are secured with set screw/nylon ball mechanisms (H). These should be adjusted
so the adjustment screws are held snugly, but still turn freely.
Check the blade height adjustment pins and knob (I) for wear and replace as necessary.
Clamp Adjustment
The clamp assembly is installed and properly adjusted at the factory. If it is necessary,
use the adjustment set screw to readjust the clamp assembly as shown below.
See Figure 4-2.
The right end of the clamp mounting block should be 1/16" above the
blade support plate.
