If the machine requires mounting to the floor, is the floor solid

and level and is able to allow secure fixing.

Consideration must also be given to the length and width of the

material to be machined. ensuring that there is enough space at

either end and around the machine, to accommodate the largest

piece of material to be machined safely.

ASSEMBLY

Lift out the base plate, remove the protective paper and place

the base plate on a workbench or the floor.

Locate the chuck, chuck key, three handles, four bolts, two
hexagonal keys, telescopic guard and drift and place to one

side for time being. Lift out the worktable, head stock and motor

assembly and the column, remove the protective paper and

place them onto the workbench.

LOCATING THE MACHINE

MOUNTING THE BASE PLATE (PIC. 2)

Select a suitable location for the drill, either on a workbench

or on the floor for mounting the base plate. Be aware of table

legs and anything which might reduce access to the underneath

of the workbench if bench mounted. A suitable mains supply
socket must also be accessible for the plug.
If the drill is to be bench mounted (Model

TC 550/16 TC

550/

TC 350/13

), locate the base plate in the

selected position. Select four suitable length bolts, washers
and nuts (not supplied).

Using the base plate as a template

drill four holes through the

workbench (Pic. 2) (2.1). Bolt the

base plate to the bench. Do not over tighten as this could
crack the cast base plate. The drill can be secured to the floor
using the same procedure.

FITTING THE COLUMN (PICS. 3 & 4)

On the bench mounting model the column support is pre

pressed onto the column. On the floor mounting model slide

the column support onto the column until it is fully located and

tighten the two grub screws securely (Pic. 3).
Align the four threaded holes on the base plate with the column
support holes (Pic. 4). Secure with the four bolts. Do not over

tighten as this could crack the cast base plate and column

support. (

: three bolts)

FITTING THE RACK AND PINION GEAR (PICS. 5 & 6)

Locate the table support assembly (Pic. 5) (5.1) and the worm
gear shaft (Pic. 5) (5.2). Offer the worm gear shaft through the

top of the table support assembly and locate the shaft through

the bushing (Pic. 5).

Note that the end of the shaft has been machined with a flat,
which allows the winding handle to be located and secured in

place. Locate the winding handle onto the shaft and secure in
place using the grub screw and tighten using a hex key (Pic. 6).

FITTING THE TABLE SUPPORT (PICS. 7 TO 10)

NOTE:

for Model

1500/32

the table is pre-fitted to the

table support assembly.
CAUTION: YOU MAY NEED AN ASSISTANT FOR THE NEXT
PROCEDURE

Lower the rack, into the table support assembly ensuring that it

engages with the worm gear (Pic. 7). Make sure the end of the
rack without teeth is uppermost.

Lower the table support assembly onto the column until the

rack locates into the column base (Pic. 8). The assembly will
slide easily into position so do not use force. Lower the rack

upper retaining collar onto the column and locate it over the

upper end of the rack (Pic. 9.1). Tighten the grub screw with
the hexagonal key supplied (Pic. 9) (9.2). Make sure the table
support assembly together with the rack will rotate 360°. If the

rotation is stiff or if the rack prevents smooth rotation slacken off
the grub screw in the upper retaining collar, adjust the position

of the upper retaining collar and re-tighten the grub screw.

Check the up and down motion of the table support assembly by

winding the handle. The action should be smooth over the full
range of travel. Locate the table assembly securing handle and

screw it into the threaded hole at the rear of the table support

assembly (Pic.10). This handle is used to lock the table into
position after the desired height and 360° rotation positions
have been achieved.

FITTING THE TABLE (PIC. 11)

Models

TC 550/16 TC 550/

Only

For Model

1500/32

the table is pre-fitted to the table

support assembly.

Take the table and offer it to the table support assembly locating

the stub shaft into the table clamp. Locate the securing handle

and screw it into the threaded hole in the table clamp and tighten

(Pic. 11). This will secure the table into position.

Caution:

this operation requires two persons.

FITTING THE HEAD STOCK AND MOTOR

ASSEMBLY (PIC. 12)

Locate the two grub screws in the side of the head stock and

motor assembly. Using a hexagonal key slacken the two grub
screws. Lift the head stock and motor assembly and lower it onto
the column. Make sure that it slides down and locates fully on
the column. Position the head stock and motor assembly, with
the Stop/Start switch facing the front and aligned with the base
plate. Tighten the two grub screws (Pic. 12) to secure the head
stock and motor assembly into place. Retain the hexagonal
keys for future adjustments.

FITTING THE HAND FEED HANDLES (PIC. 13)

Locate and install the three, hand feed handles. Simply screw

the handles into the three threaded holes located in the feed

shaft boss (Pic.13) (13.1). Make sure that all three handles are
tight.

FITTING THE TELESCOPIC GUARD

NOTE:

on models

the telescopic

guard must be fitted before fitting the chuck. For
