3.2.2 Locking Mechanism

The stage is shipped with a  plate fitted to th e side, which locks the carriage during

transit, and in applications where accidental adjustment  is undesirable. The locking

screw on these plates should be loosened before the stage is used as shown below.

3.2.3 Mounting Directly to the Work Surface

Referring to Fig. 3.2, proceed as follows:
1) Adjust the actuator to position the moving carriage such that the mounting holes

in the base are clearly visible through the holes in the top plate.

2) Fit four bolts (M6 x 10 or 1/4-20 x 3/8”, not supplied) through the holes in the top

platform and tighten to secure the stage to the work surface.
