1.Six collars (A) Fig. 9 are supplied with the machine. These collars allow the cutter and/or the 6-1/2" diameter spindle guard to be positioned at various locations on the spindle.

2.When attaching cutters to the spindle, position the cutter as close to the bottom of the spindle as possible to reduce the possibility of spindle run-out, which can affect the appearance of the cut.

3.Determine which, if any, collars are needed. Then attach the cutter (B) Fig. 9, keyed washer (C), and spindle nut (D) Fig. 9). Place one wrench on the flats (A) Fig. 10 on top of the spindle and one wrench on the spindle nut (D). Tighten as shown in Fig. 11.

4.IMPORTANT: Always place “keyed” washer (C) Fig. 10, on spindle before screwing on nut (D). The “keyed” washer

(C) prevents the nut (D), from loosening when spindle turns counterclockwise.
