Tightening the turret screws
Fig.
8.5
The frequency at which the screws need to be tightened depends on factors such as the frequency
of use and the work environment. It is nevertheless possible to establish that under normal work
conditions, the screws of the turret should be checked and tightened after the irst 250 hours of
operation or the irst 3 months and generally least every 12 months or 1000 hours.
CAUTION
Do not exceed the values indicated by the dynamometric wrench.
