3.2 LIFTING AND RIGGING
The KM3000 may be lifted from the crate by hand.
The KM4000 must be lifted using the supplied lifting eyes.
For the KM4000: When moving the machine and setting it up on the
workpiece, support the machine by its lifting eyes with proper rigging.
Failure to do so could allow the machine to shift or slip suddenly or fall,
resulting in death or severe crushing or pinching injury.
3.3 KM3000/KM4000 TOOLING SETUP
Avoid serious personal injury by disconnecting the power source before
setting up or adjusting the machine.
Tools are very sharp. Handle with extreme care and follow all safety
procedures for dealing with sharp objects.
Do the following to set up the KM3000/KM4000 tooling:
1. Loosen the quill clamping screws.
2. Crank the gearbox assembly up until the vertical adjustment screw is free
of the top slide. Remove the gearbox assembly from the machine.
3. Loosen the end mill socket set screw in the spindle.
4. Insert the end mill into the spindle. Turn the end
mill until the flat in the shank is directly under the
setscrew. It may be necessary to remove the set-
screw to locate the flat (see Figure 3-1). Tighten
the setscrew. Before using small end mill collets,
degrease the collets with solvent and dry them.
Check that the setscrew seats firmly against the
flat on the end mill shank.
5. Place the gearbox assembly on the top slide. Crank
the gearbox assembly down until the quill housing
is below the bottom quill clamping screw.
