quired is 110V, 60 Hz.

Installation of the headstock power feed is straightforward,
calling for only a small number of standard shop tools. A drill
press (with vise) is highly desirable for the accurate drilling
of two holes for roll pins. Except for the motor unit itself, plus
roll pins and 3 x 15 mm keys, Figure 3 shows the main parts
included in the kit.
Instructions in the manufacturer's manual do not apply to the
PM-833TV. Use the manual only as a reference for parts and
electrical.
