THE MACHINE MUST NOT
BE PLUGGED IN AND THE POWER SWITCH
MUST BE IN THE OFF POSITION UNTIL
ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETE.
INSTALLING & REMOVING THE CHUCK
It is very important that the
tapered hole in the chuck, tapered hole in the
spindle and both tapered ends of the arbor
are free of any grease, oil, lacquer or rust
protection.
IMPORTANT!
These tapered surfaces must be absolutely
clean
for a precision fitting of the parts, so
slipping of the chuck during use does not
occur unless there is extreme rotational
pressure during use. This is a safety feature
of this type of friction fit joint.
THE MACHINE MUST NOT
BE PLUGGED IN AND THE POWER SWITCH
MUST BE IN THE OFF POSITION UNTIL
ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETE.
