ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUSTING THE HEADSTOCK HEIGHT

The headstock on your mill can be adjusted up and down to accom-

modate short or tall workpieces and enables you to change tools mid

project. The dovetail design creates precise Z-axis movement that

allows you to keep your workpiece aligned when changing the head-

stock height or changing tooling.

1. Ensure the machine is unplugged to prevent accidental starting.

2. Loosen the Z-axis lock handle (Fig. 9 - 1).

3. Turn the Z-axis handwheel (Fig. 10 - 1) to adjust the height of

the headstock. Turn the handwheel clockwise to raise the headstock

and counter-clockwise to lower it. Each full rotation of the handwheel

moves the headstock 0.05".

4. Lock the Z-axis lock handle once the headstock is adjusted to the

desired height.

DETERMINING THE SPEED SETTINGS

The suitable operating speed depends on the size and material of the

workpiece. Generally, use higher speeds for cutting softer materials

and smaller holes; use lower speeds for cutting harder materials and

bigger holes.

Your machine has a range of 100 - 2000 RPM. Use the spindle speed

knob (Fig. 11 - 1) on the control panel to select the desired speed

range.

Your machine is also equipped to run in the forwards and reverse

directions. Flip the direction selector knob (Fig. 11 - 2) to either for-

wards or reverse to chose the desired direction.

WARNING! Do not change the direction selector knob when

the machine is running! Always turn the speed range knob to

0 before ﬂipping the direction selector knob to either off or the

other direction.
