Chuck Clamp/Unclamp Operation
Chuck clamp/unclamp operation is controlled with a footswitch in any operation mode.
<Cautions on chuck clamp/unclamp operation>
1.
When clamping or unclamping the chuck, ensure that your hands or fingers will
not be caught by the chuck or chuck jaws.
2.
Hold the workpiece securely before stepping on the footswitch pedal when
removing the workpiece from the machine. If the footswitch pedal is stepped on
mistakenly, the chuck will be unclamped and the workpiece will fall, causing
machine damage.
While the spindle is rotating, chuck clamp/unclamp operation is disabled by the chuck
interlock function.
<Procedure>
1)
Make sure that spindle (rotary tool spindle) rotation is stopped.
2)
Select the chucking direction (I.D. or O.D.).
3)
Clamp and unclamp the chuck with the chuck opening/closing footswitch.
<Footswitch>
Step on the footswitch pedal while pushing the lock
release plate forward with your toes.
