Handwheel problem for the Gerson swing arm cutting machine :
The handwheel does not control the arm movement.
1.Check the condition of the multispiral spring inside the column and control wheather it has been damaged.
2.Check that the multispiral spring is tight between the two clamps to be able to transmit rotation action to the setting screw.
The handwheel unscrews slightly in an anticlockwise direction with each cutting strok when using Gerson machinery.
This fault increase the swing arm stroke.Gradually adjust the two nuts behind the knob to increase the braking action that the compressed rubber plug exercises on the transmission pin.
