Camlock Stud
Installation
This section provides information about how to install and adjust the camlock studs so the chuck properly mounts to the spindle.
Note: You can skip this section if the camlock studs are already installed.
To install the camlock studs:
1.Lightly oil the threads of each stud.
2.Thread the studs into the chuck until the datum line is flush with or just above the surface of the chuck, and the alignment groove is positioned over the hole.

3.Install a cap screw in the hole next to each stud. These cap screws prevent the studs from rotating so they properly engage with the camlock during installation.
Note: It is normal for studs to have a small amount of play or looseness after installing and tightening the cap screws.
Chuck Installation & Removal Devices
A dropped chuck can cause amputation, serious crushing injuries, or property damage. Always use a lifting, support, or protective device to reduce this risk when installing or removing a chuck.
Because chucks are heavy and often awkward to hold, some kind of lifting, support, or protective device should be used during installation or removal. The weight and size of the chuck will determine the appropriate device to use (refer to the following figure for examples).
