4-2. Checking and Adjusting he Brush

Check the height of the brush. Ensure that the brush check/adjustment procedure is

completed while the brush is placed in a horizontal position as shown at right.
To place the brush in a horizontal position, rotate the timing shaft with the Allen
wrench supplied with the machine.
Please prepare the screws to be used. Drop a few of them into the rail groove,

check and adjust the brush height as directed below.

After the brush is placed in a horizontal position as shown below, rotate the brush.
When the resultant gap between tip of the brush and screw heads is approximately

0 mm, no adjustments are needed.
If any adjustment is needed, perform the following procedure:

Loosen the brush mounting screws.

Make adjustments so that the gap between tip of the brush and screw heads is

approximately 0 mm. In this instance, avoid lowering the brush too much. After

completion of adjustments, tighten the brush mounting screws.
After the brush is properly adjusted, rotate it again to verify that it smoothly moves

without any obstruction.

4-3. Checking and Adjusting the Passage Plate

Drop the employed screws into the rail groove. Slide the screws to the

passage window section and check or adjust the passage plate height.

Check that the clearance between the passage window upper end and
the screw heads is not greater than about 0.5 mm and that the screws
can pass the passage window. If the above requirements are not met,

repeat above adjustment procedures as needed.
After adjustment is completed, tighten the passage plate retaining screw.
If the screw applied has a relatively short shank, ne adjustments may be

needed.

For screws having a relatively long shank, however, coarse adjustments
will sufce.

4-4. Checking and Adjusting the Holding Plate (Screw Guide 1)

Drop about 10 applied screws into the rail groove.
Tilt this machine or operate it so that the screws are delivered to the rail
assembly stopper.
If the shutter is closed or there is no clearance between the holding
plate (screw guide 1) and screw heads, the screws will not be able to
move. The screws can move when the shutter is open with an adequate
clearance provided between the holding plate (screw guide1) and screw
heads.
When the clearance is 0 to 1 mm, the holding plate (screw guide1) height

needs no further adjustment.

NOTE: If the rail stopper captures a screw and brings the vibration to

a stop immediately, adjust the timer setting control on the rear

side of the unit.
