8. Move the feed speed control knob to the
center neutral position.
9. Rotate the sprocket at the end of the
infeed roller. The teeth at the bottom of the
roller should contact the top of the block if
the roller is properly adjusted. If the roller
teeth will not clear the block, or if there is a
gap between the block and the infeed
roller, you will need to make adjustments.
10. If you need to adjust the roller up or down,
loosen the lock nut and turn the setscrew
to raise or lower the rollers. See Figure 18.
Figure 17. Feeler measures roller adjustment.
11. Follow the same procedure at the other
end of the infeed roller and on both sides
of the outfeed roller. Do not change the
table height yet, the next sections will
require the same settings.
12. Be sure to tighten the lock nut as soon as
you have adjusted each roller to its proper
height.
