To check function of the quick release Locking Lever (4),
unlatch the lever and move the Tool Base (2) up and down
by turning the Adjusting Screw (5). Close the Locking
Lever to secure the Tool Base. Grasp the motor housing
and firmly pull and press on the Tool Base to make sure it
is secure and it does not slip. If the Tool Base is not secure
with the Locker Lever latch closed, adjust the Tension Hex
Nut (6) until the Tool Base is secure and does not slip when

Do not tighten the Tension Hex Nut more than 1/8th of a
turn at a time before rechecking if the Tool Base is secure
and does not slip. Periodically check that the Tool Base is
secure to prevent the Tool Base from slipping during
milling.
