Over time and with repeated use, the lock lever may become
loose. When this occurs, tighten the stop nut slightly. The
elastic stop nut should be loose enough so that there is some
play in the lock lever when it is in the open position.
NOTE: Do not over tighten the elastic stop nut. The lock lever
should clamp tightly to secure the motor housing.
CAUTION:
Make sure the motor housing does not move
up or down when clamped. If motor is not
securely clamped in base, adjustments will not
be accurate.
