Return Spring Adjustment; Table Tilt Adjustment - Jet JDP-17DX Operating Instructions And Parts Manual

Return Spring Adjustment

The return spring is located behind the left
downfeed handle hub. It is adjusted at the
factory and should not need further adjustment.
If adjustment is deemed necessary:
1. Unplug the machine from the power source.
Referring to Figure 9:
2. Remove Items A–G in that order. A 19mm
wrench is required to loosen the hex nut (B).
3. Loosen the two jam nuts (H, J). Do not
remove.
4. Pull out slightly the coil spring cover (M)
while firmly holding it. DO NOT allow the coil
spring cover to turn freely in your hand, or
the spring will unwind.

alignment pin (B).
