Installation & Assembly
Tools required for assembly
forklift or hoist with straps/slings 14mm wrench (provided)
[NOTE: A socket set with ratchet wrench may speed assembly]
4mm hex wrench (provided) knife or wire cutter
flat head screwdriver
1.Remove the four screws and flat washers holding the machine to the pallet with a 14mm wrench, as shown in Figure 1.
2.Place lifting straps through the two eyebolts at the top of the machine (Figure 2). Using a forklift or hoist, lift the machine off the pallet and into its desired location. The Dovetailer should be located in a dry area with sufficient lighting. Leave plenty of space around the machine for operations and routine maintenance work.
3.If desired, the Dovetailer can be further stabilized by securing it to the floor, using lag screws through the four holes at the bottom of the cabinet.
4.A group of cords holds the headstock secure to the machine frame to prevent it from moving during shipping. These cords should now be cut and removed (see Figure 3).
5.Exposed metal areas of the Dovetailer (such as the table, template bar, cylinder clamps, rods, etc.) have been factory coated with a protectant. This should be removed with a soft cloth dampened with kerosene or mineral spirits. Do not use an abrasive pad. Do not let solvent contact plastic or rubber parts as it may damage them.
Attaching Dust Hose
1.Slide the upper end of the hose over the chute on the dust hood (Figure 4).
2.Tighten the hose clamp with the attached screw, using a flat head screwdriver.
