you put the hex wrench/allen key in the little hole until it sets in there snug. Then, while holding the allen key, turn the screw on the front in small increments until desired stroke is reached. I hope that helps.

Mine came with a short stroke and I gave it a full turn and opened that sucker up. It's like 5mm plus now.....I love it. Really great liner if you like a lot of hang...even if you dont I would guess.

yeh think mines set at about 2.5, still lines nice but iv always found i line much better with a bigger throw.

iv tried a little b&g with it and it does an amazing job, very smooth, this machine is gonna be my everyday liner i think, the balance is perfect and i feel much more steady lining than with my rotaryworks, even though i love that machine.

Yeah, the RW colors awesome. I have a RW Triple Conrad coming so I'm going to try it for lining & see how it goes. The way it is made it keeps the motion more linear.
