Adjustment Of The Dovetail Guides - WABECO F1200 Operating Instructions Manual

Adjustment of the dovetail guides

In order to achieve optimum results when adjusting the dovetail guides, the relevant dovetail guides
should be cleaned and lubricated before you start (see „Lubricating the machine")
Further all tensioning devices and loose parts should be removed from the machine table.
Pay attention to ensure that the clamping lever of the dovetail guide you wish to adjust is open
To adjust the dovetail guides, proceed as follows:
1. Undo the lock nuts (1)
2. Set the adjustment bar of the relevant axis and all the associated threaded pins (2) in such a way
that the relevant axis has no play and can be moved with little force. To do this, the appropriate
skid should be moved during the setting process and checked for play and appropriate ease of
movement.
3. When the threaded pins (2) are set correctly, tighten the lock nuts (1) back up again
Only set the threaded pins (2) if they are in the range of the counter guide! To do this, the skid
may need to be moved into this area. Otherwise the dovetail guide may jam and this may cause
damages.
