Roller Setup and Adjustment

What happens here
To properly set up the foam rollers, insert a piece of lumber (e.g., a 2x4 for a fence picket) into the machine between the rollers. Adjust the tension of the rollers using the designated knobs so that the rollers apply approximately a 1/2-inch 'smash' (compression) to the top and bottom of the wood. The goal is to allow the rollers to spin freely and effortlessly as the wood passes through. If the rollers are too tight, they will create excessive drag and friction, potentially tearing the foam rollers, which house the oil-based or latex stain product.
Goal: Properly adjust the machine's foam rollers to ensure they spin freely, preventing drag, friction, and damage during the staining process.
