ADJUSTING THE
CLAMPING
COLLARS
The retaining system used to hold the clamping levers in the open position require
periodic adjustment. Adjust the collars using the following procedure:
Figure 8. Adjusting the Clamping Lever Collars
1.
Slightly loosen the set screws retaining the clamping collars on each end
of the machine. Set screws should be loose enough to permit adjustment
of the clamping collars, but not so loose as to permit loss of position on
the clamping collars when the clamping levers are moved.
2.
Tighten the clamping collars by turning them clockwise, until you are
unable to move the clamping levers to clamp material.
3.
Back off the clamping collars by turning them counterclockwise until you
can move the clamping levers to clamp material. The collars are properly
adjusted when one lever can be unclamped, and the lever at the opposite
end of the machine remains clamped. It may require several adjustments
at each end of the machine to achieve the proper tension. During these
adjustments, be sure the set screws remain tight enough to prevent loss of
position by the clamping collars when the clamping levers are moved.
4.
When the collars are properly adjusted, tighten the set screws securely to
retain the clamping collars in place.
