OPERATION

CHANGING THE JAWS IN YOUR CHUCK (FIG. G)

1. Make sure your lathe is turned off and unplugged.

2. Insert the chuck key into the square hole of the chuck. Turn the

chuck key counterclockwise until all of the jaws come out of the chuck.

3. Clean out each slot in the chuck making sure all dirt and debris are

removed.

4. Each jaw has a number or letter (1, 2, 3 or A, B, C) that corresponds

to a number in the slot.

5. Take Jaw #1 and insert the chuck key into the chuck. Turn the key

clockwise while looking directly at the chuck so you can see inside the

slot. You will see the beginning of a lead thread on the scroll of the

chuck pass the opening heading counter-clockwise.

6. Insert Jaw #1 into this slot and turn the chuck key until the thread

engages the jaw.

7. Repeat these steps for jaws 2 and 3. Make sure to always insert the

jaws in order.

REMOVING A CHUCK OR FACEPLATE

1. Turn off and unplug your lathe! It is recommended to place a piece

of plywood over the bed underneath the spindle in order to protect the

bed if you drop the chuck/faceplate.

2. Hold the chuck or faceplate with your hand while using a 10mm

wrench with your other hand to loosen and remove the three hex nuts

on the back of the spindle plate.

3. Pull the chuck/faceplate slowly off the spindle. It may be necessary to tap the back surface of the faceplate/

chuck with a rubber mallet to get it off the spindle.

INSTALLING THE CHUCK OR FACEPLATE (FIG. H)

1. Insert the guide studs into the chuck/faceplate you wish to install. To do this, make sure the studs extend at

least ½” from the surface of the chuck/faceplate.

2. Align the studs with the holes on the spindle and secure the chuck/faceplate in place with the nuts using a

10mm wrench.
