Pivoting head - PD1
Fig. 5. Pivoting head-PD1 with assemblied column.
An universal pivoting head can be used to simplify set-up in many cases. The Pivoting Head
can for example be fitted on a vertical column and a horizontal column fitted to the Pivoting
Head conical quick coupling.
Mounting of pivoting head
1. Mount the pivoting head on the column (see fig. 5)
2. Tighten the locking screws to that the pivoting head doesn’t glide on the column.
3. Use the ratchet to move the pivoting head to the desired position on the column.
4. Lock the pivoting head with the locking screws on the desired height. (see fig. 5)
5. To mount the column on the pivoting head, an eccentric bolt is inserted in the hole in
the column, and tightened Clockwise with a ½” handle or ratchet.
6. Now you can mount the carriage on the horisontal column, see mounting of carriage.
The column quick coupling is of the same type as on Base Plate BE2, with a swivelling face
tooth coupling allowing for adjustment of drill angle in 5° increments.
Important!
Be observant so that the eccentric bolt does not slip out of the column when the
coulmn is put on the pivoting head. It MUST be completely flush with the column side face.
Important!
When the adjustable male coupling shall be adjusted, please make sure the teeth are
correctly in mesh.
Important!
When the pivoting head is mounted, be sure that the locking screws are tightened to
give enough friction between column and pivoting head, to keep the pivoting head from sliding
down the column in an uncontrolled way.
