Adjusting the speed controller The speeds at which the work clamps are raised and lowered can be adjusted by loosening or tightening the valve control knobs. The speeds should be adjusted to speeds which are suitable for the intended application. • If the upper control knob is tightened, the raising speed becomes slower; if it is loosened, the raising speed becomes faster. • If the lower control knob is tightened, the lowering speed becomes slower; if it is loosened, the lowering speed becomes faster. • When the power is turned off, the work clamps can be operated by pressing the switch. Note: Adjust the control knobs so that the left and right work clamps both operate at the same speed. (Valve 1 and 2) Adjust the control knobs so that the stepping work clamp operates more quickly.

*
At this time, install the valve setting plate (2) in a position where it will not be in the way when using the machine. (The
recommended installation position is shown in Figure 1.)
3.
Install the ground cord (5) to the machine head.
4.
Install the air unit (6) to the valve setting plate (2) with two screws (1).
5.
Connect the air hose (7).
6.
Adjust the air pressure. (Refer to “9-14. Adjusting the air pressure”.)
<When installing to a beam>
1.
Make holes in the beam as shown in the illustration above. (Button hole diameter is 5.4 mm. The pitch is 50mm.)
2.
Install the air unit (8) to the beam with two accessory screws (9) and two bolts (10).
