Should a readjustment be necessary, please proceed in the following manner:
1. Counter nuts must be loosened.
2. By using a socket head wrench, tighten the readjustment screws until the carriage can just be

Longitudinal slide:
The longitudinal slide rest is mounted on the transverse slide rest and can be pivoted through 360°
degrees. Thus, it is suitable for the turning of tapers. For adjustment, the 4 mm Allen key is used
to loosen the two screws located on the outer sides of the transverse slide rest. The arrow on the
transverse slide rest. There is a scale of the degrees on the longitudinal slide rest. The distance
between two graduation marks represents one degree.
Scale rings:
To set the turning tools, the slide rest spindles have graduation collars with graduation marks. One
graduation mark represents a 0.05 mm feed adjustment which corresponds to a 0.1 mm chip
removal on the work piece.
The hexagon socket screw is provided for cases where the compound rest is to be fixed to the slide
bars (e.g. in the case of transverse turning.) It screws down the clamped piece at the lower side of
the transverse slide rest against the two slide bars.
