RIGHT WRONG
DRUM REMOVAL
With a socket wrench,
remove the two,
Left-Handed hex nuts
(located behind the
belt guard).
Tilt the machine forward
only to prevent the engine
cylinders from being
oodedwithoil.
Slide out the drive shaft
and take the drum to a work-
bench for cutter loading.
CUTTER SET-UP
Remove one retaining plate (ILL# 2, pg. 15, or ILL# 3, pg. 16) and load the cutters and spacers on
each shaft using the cutter charts (pg. 13-14) as a guide.
Make certain that the drum is balanced. An unbalanced drum is unsafe and may cause excessive
vibration, damage bearings, break shafts and reduce cutter life.
After loading the cutters, re-fasten the retaining ring and load the drum onto the machine. Lube the
driveshaftandpositionthecutterdrumrmlyonthedriverstudswhileslidingthedrumshaftcarefully
back into position. Fasten the two Left-Handed nuts securely.
TIP:Loadcutterswithoutspacersforasmoothnish.
Offset or align carbide-spiked cutters for grooving, surface leveling,
or removing. And ALWAYS load the special milling cutters in the
  samedirection,withthecarbideedgecuttingrst,andspacedwith
at least one spacer (see page 13 for details). There should be
1/8” - 1/4” play on each section of cutter shaft.
