When in the up position the machine can be lifted up such that there is no pressure on this screw so it can be adjusted.
Look for something similar?
Hi, I just got a White Rotary machine in a Mission cabinet and am having problems with the wire lift. It doesn't lift the machine all the way up, and the wood of the cabinet is very dry...also the lift mechanism makes a wonky sound when I try to lift the machine up, I have to use my hands to pull the machine up and there are awful sounds....I suppose I will have to take the machine head off and flip the cabinet to see what's going on....If anyone has any advice, I'd sure appreciate it!!!! Thanks.
