7.Tighten camlocks in a star pattern to draw the chuck in evenly and reduce the chance of misalignment. Make sure to tighten camlocks in an incremental manner to ensure that one camlock does not get fully tightened before the others (i.e., snug the camlocks on the first pass, then moderately tighten on the next pass, then fully tighten on the third pass).
As you tighten the camlocks, the chuck will seat with the spindle nose. When fully tightened, the cam line will fall between the two "V" marks on the spindle nose, as shown in Figure 6.

line positioned between the "V" marks.
—If the cam is fully tightened, but the cam line is positioned outside of the “V” marks, remove the chuck and adjust the height of the offending camlock stud, as outlined in
Camlock Stud Adjustment on Page 3.
8.When installation is complete and you are satisfied with the results, lightly stamp a set of alignment marks on the chuck and spindle.

2.Lay a chuck cradle or plywood under the chuck and over the bedway to protect the precision ground surfaces from damage and reduce the risk of fingers getting pinched.
PINCH HAZARD! Protect your hands and the precision ground bedways with plywood or a chuck cradle when removing the lathe chuck! The heavy weight of a falling chuck can cause serious injury.
3.Loosen the camlocks by turning the key counterclockwise approximately
Note: Camlocks can become very tight. A cheater pipe may be used to add leverage when loosening.
