4. OPERATION 4.2. MACHINE ADJUSTMENT 4.2.1. Adjustment for the thickness of workpiece Adjust the height of locking actuators assembly (A) by rotating adjustment nuts (B), which allows raising or lowering such assembly (C). 4.2.2. Adjustment of position of workpiece Determine the position of workpiece for indent cutting, position horizontal and vertical fixtures (A, B) and fix them by tightening the screws (C).
Page 18
4. OPERATION 4.2.3. Adjustment of indent height “H” Choose on spindle shaft (A) the desired height. The lowest value of 6 mm. is obtained by positioning the mill cutter on the first notch to the left of the scale, identified with minus (-) sign, and lock the setscrew (B).
