ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING THE HEADSTOCK HEIGHT
The headstock on your mill can be adjusted up and down to accom-
modate short or tall workpieces and enables you to change tools mid
project. The dovetail design creates precise Z-axis movement that
allows you to keep your workpiece aligned when changing the head-
stock height or changing tooling.
1. Ensure the machine is unplugged to prevent accidental starting.
2. Loosen the Z-axis lock handle (Fig. 9 - 1).
3. Turn the Z-axis handwheel (Fig. 10 - 1) to adjust the height of
the headstock. Turn the handwheel clockwise to raise the headstock
and counter-clockwise to lower it. Each full rotation of the handwheel
moves the headstock 0.05".
4. Lock the Z-axis lock handle once the headstock is adjusted to the
desired height.
DETERMINING THE SPEED SETTINGS
The suitable operating speed depends on the size and material of the
workpiece. Generally, use higher speeds for cutting softer materials
and smaller holes; use lower speeds for cutting harder materials and
bigger holes.
Your machine has a range of 100 - 2000 RPM. Use the spindle speed
knob (Fig. 11 - 1) on the control panel to select the desired speed
range.
Your machine is also equipped to run in the forwards and reverse
directions. Flip the direction selector knob (Fig. 11 - 2) to either for-
wards or reverse to chose the desired direction.
WARNING!
Do not change the direction selector knob when
the machine is running! Always turn the speed range knob to
0 before flipping the direction selector knob to either off or the
other direction.
