Handwheels/Crank
There are three handwheels provided with the machine which control table movement. They are secured with setscrews and mounted as follows. Height adjustment is made using the crank pro- vided.
Each handwheel has a setscrew which tightens with a 3mm Allen® wrench. The handwheel handles screw into the threaded holes on each hand- wheel. Turn the nut on the handwheel handles until almost tight against the plastic handle. Screw into the handwheel and tighten the nut against the wheel while maintaining the screw’s position with a screwdriver. This nut acts as a locknut and a spacer.
The first two handwheels mount on the ends of the table and move the table left and right. With the power feed installed on the G1007, there is only one side handwheel installation location. Save the extra handwheel in case the power feed cannot be used.
The third handwheel mounts in front of the base and moves the table toward and away from the front of the machine.
The head crank secures to the left side of the machine. Screw its handle into the threaded hole at the end of the crank. This handle is similar to those in the handwheels. Use a 5mm Allen® wrench to tighten the setscrew that secures the hand crank to its shaft.
Screw a black knob onto an end of each of the three chrome feed levers. These are the levers that control the up and down movement of the spindle. Screw the levers with knobs into the threaded holes on the hub, located on the right side of the machine.

To install a collet or an arbor:
1.Release the latches on the head cover and open it.
2.Insert the collet or cutting tool’s arbor up into the spindle housing. Rotate the collet or arbor to line up the keyway with the matching pin in the spindle opening.
3.Turn the hex head at the top of the drawbar (located on the top, front of the head) clock- wise until the threads at the bottom of the drawbar mesh with the female threads in the top of the collet or arbor.
4.Insert the cutter in the hole at the bottom of the collet and continue to tighten the draw- bar until both the collet and cutter are tight- ly in place. Do not

To remove a collet or an arbor:
1.Loosen the hex head at the top of the draw- bar (2 or 3 turns).
2.Hold the cutter with a shop towel to pre- vent it from dropping completely out of the machine. Tap on the top of the draw- bar with a rubber mallet to loosen the collet from the spindle.
3.Continue to turn the drawbar counterclock- wise until it is free from the collet. Once loose, remove and replace with your desired collet. Remove cutting tools from spindle when not in use.
