5.7 Table lift assist chain adjustments
The height of the cast iron table on your machine is adjusted by operating the removable
crank handle located on the infeed end of the machine. The crank handle is connected to
a chain, which in turn is connected to the four threaded steel rods, which are threaded
through the cast iron table. Eventually, through use, the chain will stretch slightly.
If this chain becomes stretched/slack, a sprocket (located at the bottom of the threaded
rods) may skip a link during operation. When this occurs, the threaded rods will not be
synchronized with each other and the cast iron table will not be level. Another way to say
it is that the “timing” of the four threaded rods is now out of synchronization, and the four
corners of the cast iron table will not raise and lower at the same rate.
See Figure 5-7. Outfeed view, chain adjustment sprocket lock nut - use 17mm wrench.
