NOTE: The spindle lock can be engaged only when the machine has stopped completely.
1.Open rear cabinet door.
2.Pull out the knurled part of the lock knob (A, Figure 21) and rotate it 180 degrees until the opposite hole in the knurled lock knob engages the pin. The spindle is now locked.
3.To release the spindle, pull out the knurled lock knob and rotate it 180 degrees until it engages the pin.
Make sure the spindle is unlocked before turning on the machine.
Spindle Vertical Travel
1.Loosen handwheel lock (A, Figure 22) and turn handwheel (B, Figure 22) counterclockwise to raise the spindle; clockwise to lower the spindle.
NOTE: One complete revolution of the handwheel moves the spindle up or down by 0.1" (2.5mm), as shown on the label beside the handwheel.
