The optimum position is when the head of the set screw (1) is
aligned with the edge of the bed. The rotary hook lubrication
amount can be adjusted within three turns to the right from
that position.
• If the set screw (1) is turned clockwise, the lubrication
amount becomes smaller.
• If the set screw (1) is turned counterclockwise, the
lubrication amount becomes greater.
