STARTING PIN
1. The machine is supplied with a tapered starting pin (A)
Fig. 34, which is used as a support when starting the
cut. The starting pin (A) is placed in one of the tapered
holes (B) in the table.
2. Place the work in the first position using the guide pin
as a support (Fig. 35). Swing the work into the cutter as
shown in the second position (Fig. 36). The work will be
supported by the collar and starting pin (Fig. 36).
3. After the cut has started, swing the work free of the
starting pin and let it ride only against the collar (third
position, Fig. 36).
ALWAYS FEED THE WORKPIECE
AGAINST THE ROTATION OF THE CUTTER .
Advancing the work to the cutter without
the side support of the starting pin will
provide serious kickback. ALWAYS USE
THE STARTING PIN.
REPLACING SPINDLE CARTRIDGE
1. IMPORTANT: When replacing the spindle cartridge (B) Fig. 37, loosen the bolt (A). Remove the spindle cartridge.
Replace with a new spindle cartridge. Tighten the bolt (A) ONLY 7 to 10 foot pounds.
2. Always align the spindle pulley (D) Fig. 38, and motor pulley (E) to provide maximum belt performance and to reduce belt
wear. To check the pulley alignment, place a straight edge against the underside of both pulleys (Fig. 38). If an
adjustment is necessary, loosen the set screw (F) and move the motor pulley up or down until the two pulleys (D) and
(E) are aligned. Tighten the set screw.
3. Using light finger pressure on the belt between pulleys (D) and (E) Fig. 38, a deflection of approximately 3/32" will
constitute proper belt tension.
