removing their nuts and subsequently removing the chuck. Tapping the
chuck with a soft mallet might be required. To place a new chuck onto
the spindle, follow the above steps in reverse order.
Jaw Replacement: Place the chuck key into the chuck hole and rotate
anti-clockwise until the jaws are at their maximum open distance. The
jaws can now be manually pulled out. To place new jaws into the chuck,
choose the #1 jaw and place it into the desired chuck slot. Ensure that
the top groove of that slot is not visible when inserting the jaw. Once
the jaw is seated into the slot, rotate the chuck clockwise to drag down
and secure the jaw. Repeat this with jaws #2 and #3.
Tailstock Adjustment: To adjust the placement of the tailstock rest,
loosen the nut on its base, change its position, and retighten the nut.
Offset the tailstock in order to cut bevels or tapers.
Tailstock Locking: Turn the clamping lever clockwise to lock the
tailstock in place, or anti-clockwise to unlock.
Tool Post Adjustment: To adjust the tool post, simply loosen both bolts
holding it in place, move it to the desired position, and retighten the
bolts. Loosen the bolts on top of the tool post to replace work cutters.
Carriage Adjustment: Rotate the carriage handwheel clockwise to
move the carriage towards the tailstock. Rotate the handwheel
anti-clockwise to move the carriage towards the chuck.
Carriage Locking: Turn the toolpost control handle clockwise to tighten
and anti-clockwise to loosen. This handle must be loosened before
automatic feeds are used.
Cross Slide Adjustment: Turning the cross slide handwheel will slide
the tool post perpendicular to the ways. Turn the handwheel clockwise
to move it back, and anti-clockwise to move forward.
Carriage Feed Control: Move the half nut lever down to engage the
half nut and move the carriage under power. Make sure to disengage
the half nut before making any adjustments to avoid unexpected
carriage movement.
Compound Control: Turn the compound control wheel anti-clockwise
to move the compound outwards and clockwise to move it inwards,
changing the cutting angle.
