Feed Speed; Fence Alignment; Adjusting Blade And Roller Height; Oiler Adjustment - Powermatic SLR12 Operating Instructions And Parts Manual

Feed Speed

The feed speed adjuster is found below the
gearbox (Figure 13). Feed speed should be
adjusted while the machine is running and the
caterpillar is in motion.
Turn adjuster clockwise to decrease feed speed,
counterclockwise to increase.

Fence Alignment

For accurate cutting, the fence must be parallel
to the line of cut:
1. Place a straight edge against the fence with
its other side flush to the blade, and check
that the fence is in line with the blade.
2. If adjustment is needed, loosen the socket
head cap screws on one end of the bar
(Figure 14). Move the bar in or out as
needed until fence is in line with blade.
3. Retighten screws.

Adjusting Blade and Roller Height

The small handwheel (A, Figure 15) raises or
lowers the blade. This blade setting is then
locked by tightening the lever (B, Figure 15).
The large handwheel (C, Figure 15) raises and
lowers the entire head including the pressure
rollers. The roller setting is then locked by
tightening the lever (D, Figure 15). A scale near
the lever displays the height.

Oiler Adjustment

Loosen set screw (Figure 16) and rotate
clockwise to increase
counterclockwise to decrease oil output. The
scale is in cubic centimeters.
