Spindles

The Model G8622 comes with 114", 1", & 34" spin- dles like those in Figure 6. The spindles must be inserted correctly and remain stable in order to produce quality work. When installing and chang- ing spindles, make sure the spindle seats snugly and that there is enough drawbar threaded into the bottom of the spindle to safely secure it in place. To install a spindle:

1.You should not have your machine connect- ed to a power source at this time. If you do, UNPLUG it before you begin.

Figure 6. Spindles.

2.Thread the drawbar approximately 10-15 turns into the bottom of the spindle. The drawbar has two threaded ends. One of them will remain exposed.

3.Make sure the spindle and cartridge are clean and free of the rust inhibiting protective grease. Lower the spindle/drawbar into the spindle cartridge at the top of the table. Line up the keyway on the spindle with the locat- ing pin at the top of the spindle cartridge as illustrated in Figure 7. You will feel the spin- dle seat itself.

5.Place the spindle wrench on top of the spin- dle, so it fits over the head of the spindle. Place a 15mm wrench on the drawbar nut.

6.Hold the spindle in place and tighten the drawbar nut. DO NOT use excessive force.
