Delta 43-424 instruction manual Assembling Spindle Guard

ASSEMBLING SPINDLE GUARD

A 4-1/2" diameter spindle guard is supplied as standard equipment and is supplied with a 1/2" bushing which enables the guard to be used with both the 1/2" and 3/4" spindles.

CAUTION: The diameter of the spindle guard should be at least 1" more than the maximum cutting circle of the shaper cutter and the height of the guard should not exceed 1/4" above the material.

To assemble the spindle guard, proceed as follows:

MAKE CERTAIN THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE.

1.Two 1/2" I.D. and two 3/4" I.D. washers are supplied with the 4-1/2" diameter spindle guard to accommodate 1/2" and 3/4" spindles. These washers are to be positioned directly above and below the spindle guard. Place one of the washers (A) on the spindle, over either the cutter or collar, as shown in Fig. 38.

2.Place the spindle guard (B) Fig. 39, on the spindle, then place the other washer (C) and “keyed” washer (D) on the spindle as shown.

3.Thread spindle nut (E) Fig. 40, onto spindle, then place one wrench on flats on top of spindle and one wrench on spindle nut (E) and tighten as shown.

4.IMPORTANT: Always place “keyed” washer (D) Fig. 39, on spindle before screwing on spindle nut (E) Fig. 40. The “keyed” washer (D) Fig. 39, prevents the spindle nut (E) Fig. 40, from loosening when the spindle turns counterclockwise.
