6.replace the leadscrew alignment key, then align the bevel gear keyway and the key as you slide the gear onto the leadscrew and mesh its teeth with the drive gear.

7.replace the graduated dial ring into position and secure it with the knurled retaining ring— do not overtighten.

8.slide the ball handle onto the leadscrew as you align its keyway with the leadscrew alignment key, then secure it with the hex nut removed in Step 2.

9.Manually move the table with the power feed ball handle to check the gear movement and to distribute the grease on the gears. If the movement is not smooth, repeat Steps 2–8until it is.
