5 Machine Adjustments Machine Adjustments
Your TSM-12 is factory adjusted to handle typical pocket-hole needs. Some adjustment may be
necessary.
Note: Before making any adjustments, please sure that the machine is discon-
nected from the electrical power outlet.
5.1 Pocket Hole Alignment
If the pilot hole is off center of the pocket, (from the operator position) reach into the right side of
the machine, and loosen the wing-nut ½ turn CCW (Fig 27), make small adjustments to the
nylon thumbscrew, (1/2 turn or less) until proper alignment is achieved (Fig 28). Retest between
adjustments by pocketing another piece of material. When the pilot hole is positioned in the
center of the pocket, tighten the wing nut to secure the yellow carriage in position. The nylon
machine screw is designed to ride along the wall of the machine.
Note: A clockwise rotation of the screw will result in the router moving to the left,
and a counter-clockwise rotation will move the router to the right.
