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 check and set the arm lock knob by turning the arm lock wheel (under the carriage arm). [] To release the arm lock knob, located on top of the arm at the front, pull the arm lock knob forward until the spring is compressed. [] While holding the arm lock knob forward, swing the arm 30 ° to the left or the right, referring to the miter scale on top of the column. [] Lock the arm in place by pushing the arm lock knob back until it pops in the locked position. [] Apply a reasonable amount of pressure on the arm. 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 until the arm movement is minimized when locked.
