SPINDLE FEED HANDLES ADJUSTED.
If the Spindle does not return all the way up or moves up sluggishly, or if it requires too much force to
pull down on the Spindle Feed Handles, the amount of spring tension on the Spindle Feed Handles
can be adjusted.
1. Loosen the Lock Knob on the Depth Stop Collar.
2. Move the Spindle/Chuck assembly to its uppermost position.
3. Turn the Depth Stop Collar clockwise until it stops, and tighten the Lock Knob to prevent the
Spindle/Chuck assembly from dropping during Torsion Spring adjustment.
4. Insert a screwdriver in the lower-front notch of the Spring Cap (78) to hold it in place.
5. While holding the screwdriver in place, use a wrench to remove only the outer Nut (77).
6. With the screwdriver still in place, loosen the remaining (inner) Nut until the
·Spring Cap notch disengages from the
·Spring Retainer -- about 1/8 inch.
7. Turn the screwdriver counterclockwise and engage the next Spring Cap notch. Hold the
screwdriver in place.
8. Tighten the inner Nut just enough to engage the Spring Cap notch.
Note: If this Nut is too tight, it will restrict the up-and down movement of the Spindle/Chuck
assembly.
9. Remove the screwdriver, pull down on the Spindle Feed Handles and check the spring tension,
making sure the up movement is smooth and complete.
·From one inch down, the Chuck should return to its uppermost position. If more tension is
required, repeat steps 4 through 9.
10. Replace the outer Nut and tighten it on top of the inner Nut. Do not overtighten.
11. If the up/down movement is restricted, slightly loosen the inner and outer Nuts, then retighten
only the outer Nut.
