16.16 Swivel-Away Device for the Cross Slide
For some operations it may be necessary to remove the cross slide. For this purpose, the optional swivel-away
device available under Art. No. 4770 is a useful aid.
16.16.1 Attaching the swivel arm to the cross slide
• Lock slide table (W) in middle position.
• Set the cross-cut fence (L) on the left-hand side to 90°.
• Move the movable support widening (5) all the way to the left.
For the next steps, stand on the left side to the end of the slide table.
• Pull the swivel arm (1) under the cross slide (Q).
• Insert swivel arm support bolt (2) into the holding plate (4)
of the cross slide (Q). Then clamp with the clamping lever (3).
• Loosen the clamping lever (H) and pull the cross slide (Q) forwards → The cross slide is now only supported
by the swivel away arm (1) and the telescopic swivel arm (S).
• Turn the cross slide (Q) by 90° to the right. Then swivel it backward to bring it into its final parking position
behind the slide table (see Figure 79 and Figure 80).
16.16.2 Reattaching the Cross Slide
• The cross slide is attached in the reverse order.
• If the swivel-away device is not used, it should be folded up at the machine stand.
