SETTING THE ARM LOCK KNOB
See Figure 16.
It may be possible to move the arm when locked, if
the arm lock knob is too loose. If the arm does not
move freely when unlocked, the arm lock knob may
be too tight. Use this procedure to chec.k and set the
arm lock knob by turning the arm lock wheel (under
the carriage arm).
• Release the arm lock knob, located on top of the
arm at the front.
• Swing the arm 30" to the left or the right, referring
to the miter scale on top ofthe column.
• Lock the arm in place with the arm lock knob.
• Apply a reasonable amount of pressure. The arm
can be forced but if it moves easily, it needs
adjustment.
• Locate the arm lock wheel.
• Release the arm lock knob and turn the lock wheel
clockwise to tighten or counterclockwise to loosen.
• Repeat above steps untilthe arm movement is
minimized when locked.

clamp.
• Release the yoke lock handle (below the arm on
the right side) so the motor can be rotated.
• Swivel the motor slightly. It should be at an angle in
between one of the preset positive stop angles.
