handle rests on the table
slide assembly - leave the handle in this position
throughout the following procedures.
6.
Verify the adjustment of the pawl
assembly in relation to the escapement wheel assembly.
The escapement
wheel assembly (13-14) is located in the center of
the table slide assembly.
The pawl
assembly (11-12-7-38) is located in between the teeth
of the escapement
wheel assembly (13-14).
If
the machine is adjusted properly, the top of the pawl should
be flush with the top of the flat gear on the escapement
wheel assembly. You should be able to run a fingernail
across the flat star burst gear and across the pawl assembly
(see figure 1, below).

Important
note!! - It is crucial that when making a mark with your
Model 4 or 6, the operating handle should not be pulled
down past the 9
o'clock (horizontal) position.
The head of the depth adjustment screw (39-44) should
hit the machine casting when the operating handle is
pulled down to the 9
o'clock (horizontal) position.
This will control the depth of mark and avoid bending
the depth adjustment screw and breaking the ram.
