Mounting the Head
1. With the aid of a second person, carefully lift
the head onto the column top (Figure 3).
The head assembly is heavy!
To avoid injury and/or damage to equipment, lift
the head onto the column only with additional
assistance!
2. Rotate head assembly until sides of the belt
cover (E) are parallel with the sides of the base
(A, Fig. 1).
3. Tighten two set screws (A, Fig. 3) with a 5mm
wrench until they are snug.
Downfeed Handles
Referring to Figure 3:
For right-handed operation, install three downfeed
handles (B) into the downfeed hub (C) as shown.
For left-handed operation, install the downfeed
handles into the hub on the left side of the head.
Installing the Chuck and Arbor
1. Lower the table out of the way of the spindle
assembly (D, Fig. 3).
Referring to Figure 4:
2. Thoroughly clean spindle (A), arbor (C), and
chuck (D).
Important: These three pieces must be free of
any rust protection, or lubricant. If they are not
clean, the arbor and chuck will fail to seat in the
spindle.
3. Place arbor (C) into the chuck (D).
4. Twist the chuck to completely retract the chuck
jaws if they are exposed.
5. Place arbor and chuck assembly into the
spindle (A).
6. Turn the arbor and chuck assembly until the
tang (B) on the arbor (C) engages the slot at
the end of the spindle.
7. Use a rubber mallet, or a steel hammer against
a block of wood, to sharply tap the bottom of
the chuck two or three times to seat the
chuck/arbor assembly. (Note: Do not use a
steel hammer directly against the chuck.)
