Installation and Assembly
(Figures in brackets refer to parts diag page 13)
IMPORTANT:
Careful
consideration is required when
choosing the location for the
machine, special attention should
be paid to the operation, i.e. the
X & Y-axis, powerpoint etc, also
the workbench where the
machine is to be installed should
be firm flat and level. Avoid
installing in direct sunshine, damp
or very dusty location.
1.
Choose suitable location,
taking into consideration
the operation, i.e. the X & Y-
axis,allow sufficient clearance

2.
Drill three 8.5mm in workbench where machine is to be installed, (see Fig.1).
NOTE; before drilling, observe the min distances from the walls, anything less could impair
the maximum use of the machine.
3.

Your machine has been
coated with rust protection to
protect it in shipping, all traces
of this must be removed before
attempting to use the machine.
Commercial degreaser,
kerosene or similar solvent may
be used to remove this
protection, care must be taken
to avoid getting solvent into
the motor and electrical parts
i.e. switches etc, also observe
the cleaner manufactures
instructions.
7.
After cleaning, lightly coat all
bright (non painted) surfaces,
with a light machine oil, lightly
lubricate all moving parts, i.e.
handwheel threads etc.
8.

(see Fig. 3), whilst holding spindle with tommy bar, loosen
the spindle draw bar using 8mm spanner (see Fig. 4).
Remove tommy bar, and store safely. Unscrew the draw
bar approx three full turns, whilst supporting the drill chuck
with one hand, gently, using a plastic mallet or similar, DO
NOT USE HAMMER, apply a swift blow to the top of the draw
bar,this should cause the chuck to fall, if not repeat with
plastic hammer applying a little more force. Once the
chuck is free, continue to support with one hand and
unscrew the draw bar completely until the chuck can be
removed, store removed parts safely.
NOTE: If removing taper shank with cutting tool inserted, use
protection such as industrial work gloves or a wad of cloth
etc to protect your hands.
9. Your Machine is now ready for testing.
IMPORTANT: before plugging in and switching ON,
ensure all items such as chuck keys tommy bars etc
are removed. Set the machine HIGH/LOW range
knob (see Fig. 5), to LOW, Set forward reverse switch to
