8. Hand tighten the Arbor Nut. (reverse threaded).
IMPORTANT NOTE !
The self-aligning spacer should always be used next to
the arbor nut when tightening. To avoid overtightening,
wrench turn the arbor nut counterclockwise until the rotor,
drum, flywheel, and /or adapters become fixed snug on
the arbor and so that you are unable to freely turn them.
Then continue to advance the wrench 1/4 of a turn only.
DO NOT overtighten the arbor nut.
9. Firmly tighten the Arbor Nut with the Wrench (reverse
threaded).
IMPORTANT NOTE
Dowel pins or studs must be removed before machining
can be performed. Use silencers when possible. Magnet
packs or bars may be used as silencers.

(Scratch Cut on the Flywheel)
1. Loosen the Tool Bar Lock Nut and position the tool
bar so that the cutter is just inside the inner edge of the
flywheel surface. The Cutter should be as close to 90°
to the face of the flywheel as possible. Using the Cross
Feed Hand Wheel, move the Cross Feed to its innermost
position by turning the Hand Wheel clockwise and then
back off by turning the Cross Feed Hand Wheel counter
clockwise two turns.
2. Tighten the Tool Bar Lock Nut with the Wrench.
3. Rotate the Cross Feed Hand Wheel counter clock
wise so that the cutting tip is positioned half way across
the flywheel surface.
4. Loosen the Spindle Locking Knob.
5. Loosen the Spindle Handle Wheel Locking Knob.
6. Rotate the Spindle Feed Hand Wheel clock wise until
the Cutter just touches the Flywheel Surface.
7. Back of the Cutter by rotating the Spindle Feed Hand
Wheel clockwise until the cutter just clears the flywheel
surface.
8. Check all clearances closely to make sure that nothing
will “crash” when the power is turned on and the flywheel
starts rotating.
NOTE:
It may help to manually turn the Flywheel
by hand to check all clearances.
