Assembly

After the machine is placed in the final location, and before the lifting apparatus is removed, you should install the machine feet. Included with your machine are four cushioned feet with built-in adjustment studs (see Figure 7). These feet are easily installed and provide for accurate machine leveling.

To install the feet:

1.Using lifting equipment and wooden blocks, raise and support the machine base so there is approximately 5" between the floor and underside of the base.

2.Remove the jam nuts from the foot studs.

3.Apply any general-purpose automotive grease to the stud threads.

4.Thread the studs into the machine base from the bottom up until the studs emerge from the cabinet floor approximately 2" (see Figure 7).

5.Thread the jam nuts onto the protruding studs but do not tighten them at this time.

6.Place the machine onto the floor.

7.Using a precision level on the machine table, adjust the feet studs, so the machine is level from side-to-side and front-to-back.

8.Use a 19mm wrench to tighten the jam nuts inside of the cabinet and lock the feet studs into place.

Note: Over the course of the next six months, periodically verify that the machine is still level, and re-adjust the feet as required.

9.Rotate the top handwheel counterclockwise to raise the headstock slightly. Then remove the wood support block (see Figure 8).
