INSTALLING THE CHUCK AND ARBOR
1. Open the chuck jaws as wide as possible to
prevent any damage (Fig. 10).
2. Insert the arbor into the chuck rear as shown
(Fig. 11). Make sure that the arbor end and
receiving tapered hole in the chuck body rear are
clean of grease, oil, rust protection and any burrs
or scratches that disrupt the taper surface.
NOTE:
The arbor may be already installed in the
head assembly/spindle at the factory.
3. Carefully insert the chuck and arbor assembly
into the spindle, making sure to align the flat
part of the arbor with the spindle (Fig. 12).
NOTE:
The arbor may be already installed in the
head assembly/spindle at the factory.
4. Using a mallet or wood and hammer, drive the
chuck and arbor assembly into the spindle. This
will properly seat the chuck assembly on the
spindle. (Fig. 13)
NEVER HIT THE CHUCK
ASSEMBLY WITH A METAL HAMMER. This could
damage the chuck assembly or spindle.
5. Close the chuck jaws with the chuck key
provided.

IMPORTANT!
Figure 13
MAKE SURE THE
JAWS ARE INSIDE
OF CHUCK BODY
TO PROTECT THEM
FROM BEING HIT
DURING ASSEMBLY
OPEN CHUCK JAWS
It is 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.
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.
INSTALLING & REMOVING THE CHUCK
AND ARBOR
THE MACHINE MUST NOT BE
PLUGGED IN AND THE POWER SWITCH MUST BE IN THE
OFF POSITION UNTIL ALL ADJUSTMENTS ARE COMPLETE.
