Section 2 INSTALLATION
THESE ARE THE MAIN POINTS TO WATCH OUT FOR!
But read the following pages for more information
• Handling the mill is at least a two-man job.
• Before lowering the headstock, check that the exible oil line to the head-
stock is tucked inside the column — not trapped.
• Before lifting the mill, hand-crank the headstock down as far as possible (if
not already down, as shipped). BUT, if the optional Z-axis motor is in-
stalled, do not crank it down to the point where the limit switch touches the
limit stop.
• Lifting gear – sling, hoist or forklift – must be rated for at least 1500 lb.
• Working location of the mill must allow:
1. Full left-right travel of the table.
2. Headroom for the spindle motor at max Z height.
• Power requirement is 220V, 60Hz, 1φ, 15A circuit protection (spindle motor
only, 9A full load).
• Extension cord not recommended; if no alternative, use 12 AWG not longer
than 20 ft.
• Before connecting power be sure that:
1. The machine is on a rm footing.
2. There are no clamps or locks on moving parts.
3. The drawbar is not installed in the spindle.
4. The spindle speed control is fully counter-clockwise — lowest speed
setting.
If in doubt about any of the above, refer to the following
installation instructions, and to Section 3, Using the Mill.
