4. Tighten the two nylon set screws until they just touch the guide. Do not over-tighten or they

could cause the backgauge to bind. Lock in position with jam nuts. The center screw is a

spring loaded plunger and should not need adjustment.

5. Run the backgauge back and forth the length of the table and check for any binding.

Readjust if necessary. Replace the bottom cover and lay machine flat.

3.4.6 Leadscrew Collars

Any play in the backgauge leadscrew should not cause inaccuracies in cutting. However, excessive

play can be eliminated by adjusting the leadscrew collars as follows:

1. Turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.

2. With the top cover ON, place machine on a flat level surface on it’s left side and remove

bottom cover.

3. Loosen the two screws attached to each collar (Figure 13).
