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.
The maximum travel of the blade can be
adjusted; for example, if a blade smaller than
12” is installed. To adjust:
1. Remove the back panels.
2. Loosen the socket head cap screw on the
stop mechanism (Figure 16).
3. Rotate the stop mechanism as needed to
allow more blade drop.
4. When finished adjusting, re-tighten socket
head cap screw, and install back panels.
