Adjust the height of locking actuators assembly
(A) by rotating adjustment nuts (B), which allows
raising or lowering such assembly (C).
4.2.2. Adjustment of position of workpiece
Determine the position of workpiece for indent
cutting, position horizontal and vertical fixtures (A, B)
and fix them by tightening the screws (C).

4.2.3. Adjustment of indent height “H”
Choose on spindle shaft (A) the desired height. The lowest value of 6 mm. is
obtained by positioning the mill cutter on the first notch to the left of the scale, identified
with minus (-) sign, and lock the setscrew (B). Each notch of the scale will increase the
indent height of 1 mm. (Every time the mill cutter is shifted of one indexing clockwise (+)
sign, the spindle assembly must be raised of 1 mm. acting on the adjustment shaft (C)
to maintain the same indent accuracy. Lock in position with screw (D).
4.2.4. Adjustment of male indent thickness "S"
Position the support of mobile chaser (A) to the limit stop backwards by operating
