Place a 90˚ square upagainst the blade, the blade movement
can be set between course and fine for different cutting tasks,
this can be adjusted by rotating the motor within its' mounts.
Loosen the motor mounting cap head bolts, see figs A enough
to be able to rotate the motor (this can be quite stiff to turn),
start the machine and run at approximately 1/4 speed. By
rotating the motor, see fig B and carefully observing the blade
you will be able to see the blade changing its setting. The
finest setting is where the blade moves vertically with the least
amount of movement, see fig C backward and forwards
horizontally. This should also be where the machine vibrates
the least. When you have the setting where you wish it to be,
tighten the motor mounting bolts.
