Dropping this machine will have an effect on the accuracy and may also result in personal injury. This machine is not a toy and must be respected. The environment will have a negative result on its operation if you are not careful. If the air is damp, components will rust. If the machine is unprotected from dust and debris; components will become clogged: And if not cleaned and maintained correctly or regularly the machine will not perform at its best. 5. HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION 5.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOL USE When using any type of power tool there are steps that should be taken to make sure that you, as the user, remain safe. Common sense and a respect for the tool will help reduce the risk of injury. Read the instruction manual fully. Do not attempt any operation until you have read and understood this manual. Most important you must know how to safely start and stop this machine, especially in an emergency. Keep the work area tidy and clean. Attempting to clear clutter from around the machine during use will reduce your concentration. Mess on the floor creates a trip hazard. Any liquid spilt on the floor could result in you slipping. Find a suitable location. If the machine is bench mounted; the location should provide good natural light or artificial lighting as a replacement. Avoid damp and dust locations as it will have a negative effect on the machine’s performance. If the machine is portable; do not expose the tool to rain. In all cases do not operate power tools near any flammable materials. Beware of electric shock. Avoid contact with earthed surfaces; because they can conduct electricity if there is an electrical fault with the power tool. Always protect the power cable and route it away from danger. Keep bystanders away. Children, onlookers and passers by must be restricted from entering the work area for their own protection. The barrier must extend a suitable distance from the tool user. Unplug and house all power tools that are not in use. A power tool should never be left unattended while connected to the power supply. They must be housed in a suitable location, away locked up and from children. Do not overload or misuse the tool. All tools are designed for a purpose and are limited to what they are capable of doing. Do not attempt to use a power tool (or adapt it in any way) for an application it is not designed for. Select a tool appropriate for the size of the job. Overloading a tool will result in tool failure and user injury: This covers the use of accessories. Dress properly. Loose clothing, long hair and jewellery are all dangerous because they can become entangled in moving machinery: This can also result in parts of body being pulled into the machine. Clothing should be close fitted, with any long hair tired back and jewellery and neck ties removed. Footwear must be fully enclosed and have a nonslip sole. 5. HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION Wear personal protective equipment (PPE). Dust, noise, vibration and swarf can all be dangerous if not suitably protected against. If the work involving the power tool creates dust or fumes; wear a dust mask. Vibration to the hand, caused by operating some tools for longer periods must be protected against. Wear vibration reducing gloves and allow long breaks between uses. Protect against dust and swarf by wearing approved safety goggles or a face shield. These are some of the more common hazards and preventions; however, always find out what hazards are associated with the machine/work process and wear the most suitable protective equipment available. Do not breathe contaminated air. If the work creates dust or fumes; connect the machine (if possible) to an extraction system either locally or remotely. Working outdoors can also help if possible. Move the machine as instructed. If the machine is hand held, do not carry it by the power supply cable. If the product is heavy; employ a second or third person to help move it safely or use a mechanical device. Always refer to the instructions for the correct method. Do not overreach. Extending your body too far can result in a loss of balance and you falling. This could be from a height or onto a machine and will result in injury. Maintain your tools correctly. A well maintained tool will do the job safely. Replace any damaged or missing parts immediately with original parts from the manufacturer. As applicable; keep blades sharp; moving parts clean, oiled or greased; handles clean; and emergency devices working. Wait for the machine to stop. Unless the machine is fitted with a safety brake; some parts may continue to move due to momentum. Wait for all parts to stop; then unplug it from the power supply before making any adjustments, carrying out maintenance operations or just finishing using the tool. Remove and check setting tools. Some machinery requires the use of additional tools or keys to set, load or adjust the power tool. Before starting the power tool always check to make certain they have been removed and are safely away from the machine. Prevent unintentional starting. Before plugging any machine in to the power supply, make sure the switch is in the OFF position. If the machine is portable; do not hold the machine near the switch and take care when putting the machine down; that nothing can operate the switch. Carefully select an extension lead. Some machines are not suitable for use with extension leads. If the tool is designed for use outdoors; use an extension lead also suitable for that environment. When using an extended lead, select one capable of handling the current (amps) drawn by the machine in use. Fully extend the lead regardless of the distance between the power supply and the tool. Excess current (amps) and a coiled extension lead will both cause the cable to heat up and can result in fire. Concentrate and stay alert. Distractions are likely to cause an accident. Never operate a power tool if you are under the influence of drugs (prescription or otherwise), including alcohol or if you are feeling tired. Being disorientated will result in an accident. 5. HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION Have this tool repaired by a qualified person. This tool is designed to confirm to the relevant international and local standards and as such should be maintained and repaired by someone qualified; using only original parts supplied by the manufacturer: This will ensure the tool remains safe to use. 5.2 SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTION FOR LATHE USE There are certain risks linked to using any lathe, large or small, that have to be guarded against. This manual will advise you on basic safety and how to operate your lathe. Detailed application of the lathe is beyond the scope of this manual; however, further reading or training is recommended before attempting to use this lathe. Beware of contact hazards (crushing). Keep your hands away from the spindle and any other moving parts while the lathe is running. Beware of contact hazards (cutting). Take care when handling the work piece and parts of the lathe. Swarf on and around the lathe will be sharp to the touch: Burrs left on the stock can also be extremely sharp. Wear appropriate gloves to protect your hands and clear up after each operation. Beware of ejection hazards (thrown). While performing standard tasks on the lathe, swarf and other debris can be thrown outwards towards you. Always wear suitable safety goggles and face protection. Before starting the lathe, always double check the work piece is securely held in the jaws of the chuck. Always check the lathe before starting it to make sure all tool used for setting it have been removed. When setting the lathe, get in the habit of holding onto any tools required and not leaving them in the machine. This will help prevent them being thrown by the lathe on start-up Beware of entanglement hazards. While the lathe is operating, all moving parts must be avoided as there is a risk on clothing, hair and jewellery becoming tangled. Entanglement can also result in the item being pulled in further. Wear appropriate clothing and make sure any long hair is tired back and the all jewellery is removed. Note: Parts at the rear of the spindle can also present a risk. Beware of slip, trip and fall hazards. The area closely surrounding the lathe, both on the bench and floor, must be kept clear, clean and tidy. Beware of fire and explosion. Do not operate this lathe in or around flammable materials. This machine is not designed for use in hazardous environments. Beware of hot parts. After use the work piece can become very hot. Wear gloves when handling it: or allow time for it to cool. All guards must be fitted and in good working order. This is for your safety. Never leave the lathe unattended. This machine must never be left running without supervision. If it is necessary to leave it, stop the motor, press the emergency stop button, raise the guard and unplug the lathe. 5. HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION Keep these instructions with the lathe. If this machine is lent, or sold on, to another person these instructions must remain with it as they are part of the tool. Remove the cutting tool. After use (at the end of the day) always remove the cutting tool as store it away. Cover the lathe and store the cutting tools. To help maintain this machine in a good working order, store it under a soft piece of cloth material and store the cutting tools and other accessories in a wooden box. Lubricate all accessories before storing them away. Do not attempt to fit material larger than this machine is capable of turning. Oversized stock will damage the lathe and is more likely to be thrown off. Match the motor speed to the job. Incorrect motor speeds can result in damage to the lathe and the cutting tools; it will also result in a poorly finished work piece. This lathe is not a toy. Treat it with the respect you would give a much larger machine. Before switching on the power. Rotate (turn) the chuck fully to make sure it will not strike any part of the carriage. While feeding the tool closer to the work piece, always be aware of the chuck in relation to the carriage and slide mechanism. 5.3 CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY Make sure the power supply information on the machine's rating plate are compatible with the power supply you intend to connect it to. This lathe comes supplied with a UK standard 3 pin plug fitted. It is designed for connection to a domestic power supply rated at 230V AC. Because it is constructed mostly of metal parts, it is a Class 1 machine; meaning, it must have an earth connection in the power supply. This is to prevent electrocution in the event of a failure. Apart from replacing the fuse in the plug, no other electrical work is recommended on this lathe. 9A Blank page 9B 6.

The TAIL STOCK is mainly used for supporting longer pieces of stock bar; however, it is possible to change the dead centre for a geared chuck. This will hold an HSS drill bit and when fed into the spinning work piece will centre drill the work piece. The EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON; when pushed it will stop all power to the motor. After operating the button it is necessary to release it again to restore the power. The CHUCK GUARD is designed to help protect the user from injury; should anything be thrown out from the lathe. It includes a position switch that stops the power to the motor; either preventing it from starting or stopping mid use. The MOTOR is maintenance free and will only require attention when the carbon brushes become worn. Due to the location and complexity, disassembly of the motor and surrounding parts is not recommended. The carbon brushes (Stock No.07030) should be replaced by a Draper Tools authorized service agent. The VARIABLE SPEED DIAL is used to change the motor speed during use. After a break in operations (e.g. pressing the emergency stop button or lifting the chuck guard); the dial must be reset back to zero. 10A 7. UNPACKING & CHECKING 7.1 PACKAGING Carefully remove the lathe from the packaging and examine it for any sign of damage that may have happened during shipping. Lay the contents out and check them against the parts shown below. If any part is damaged or missing; please contact the Draper Helpline (the telephone number appears on the Title page) and do not attempt to use the lathe. The packaging material should be retained at least during the guarantee period: in case the machine needs to be returned for repair. Warning! Some of the packaging materials used may be harmful to children. Do not leave any of these materials in the reach of children. If any of the packaging is to be thrown away, make sure they are disposed of correctly; according to local regulations. 7.2 WHAT'S IN THE BOX? As well as the lathe; there are several parts not fitted or attached to it. N Compound angle key Universal chuck keys (2) 1 amp glass fuse 3mm Hex Key NOTE: No cutting tools come supplied in the box. They are available as a set of two double-end HSS cutters (Stock No.06834). 11 8. PREPARING THE LATHE 8.1 INSTALLATION Choose a location that is level, flat and with a lot of natural light. The lathe should be operated on a work bench that is high enough to prevent any injury caused by working in an uncomfortable position; but not too high that the work piece cannot be safely viewed from above. WARNING! Bending over or having your neck bent for too long (from looking down) can lead to fatigue injuries. The environment will have a negative result on its operation if you are not careful. If the air is damp, components will rust. If the machine is unprotected from dust and debris; components will become clogged: And if not cleaned and maintained correctly or regularly the machine will not perform at its best. The work bench should offer enough space around the lathe for all possible applications and to house any accessories. Although the lathe has been assembled in the factory, some final assembly and adjustments will be required before it can be used. The fine setup will come from experimenting with your new lathe and making small adjustments. To setup, adjust and operate this lathe you will require some additional tools that are not supplied in the box: 1 x set of metric hex. keys (including a 2.5mm) 1 x metric spanner (including a 5.5mm) 1 x 3.0mm plain slot screwdriver 1 x No.1 cross slot screwdriver 8.2 FITTING THE GUARDS - FIGS. 1 - 3 To comply with the current regulations and help maintain your safety during use; the machine is supplied with three guards. A chuck guard with sliding section and two carriage guards. WARNING: These guards must be fitted to the lathe before use. CHUCK GUARD (FIG 1 |. Remove the two machine screws with a 2.5mm hex. key. i. Line up the chuck guard (without sliding section) and refit the two machine screws (24a). Do not overtighten the screws as you will crack the guard. в Note: The guard mechanism contains a microswitch that will prevent the machine from starting unless it is correctly lowered. The sliding section of this guard is not required for lathe use as it will obstruct movement of the carriage. 12 8. PREPARING THE LATHE FRONT CHIP GUARD With a No.1 cross slot screwdriver loosen the two screws (26a). Slide the front chip guard down over the screws. Tighten the screws (26a). Do not overtighten the screws as you will crack the guard. REAR CHIP GUARD NOTE: It may be necessary to remove the carriage from the bed bar to access the screws fully. i. With a No.1 cross slot screwdriver loosen the two screws (27a). Slide the rear chip guard behind the screws. Tighten the screws (27a). Do not overtighten the screws as you will crack the guard. WARNING! Replace any damaged guards immediatley with an original Draper part. 13 9. SETTING THE LATHE Warning! Do not make any of the following adjustments with the lathe connected to the power supply. 9.1 LOADING A CUTTING TOOL -FIG. 4 If the cutting tool is wrongly loaded it can result in chattering which will cause a rough cut and a general poor finish on the work piece. More importantly; it can cause the tool to snap or wear faster. The height of the cutting tool is another important detail. The ideal point of contact is the centre line of the work piece. If the tool is set too high or too low it must be adjusted. If it is not possible to set the tool low enough; it may be necessary to swap the tool for another one or grind it down a little. Note: Make sure the tool is the correct type for your intended job. i. Using a 3mm hex. key loosen the bolt on the top of tool post (1). ii. Turn the knurled ring clockwise. Stop when the bottom of the slot in the threaded body (1c) is above the top of the ring. ii. Line up both slots and slide the cutting tool (not supplied) into position. iv. Hold down the cutting tool while you adjust the knurled ring until it touches the underside of the tool. V. Set the angle of the tool in relation to the work piece and adjust the overhang to approximately 12mm before tightening the bolt with the 3mm hex. key. (FIG. 4 9.2 LOADING THE UNIVERSAL CHUCK - FIG. 5 The size and length of the stock will dictate how you mount it. If the material is longer than 50mm then it will need additional support from the dead centre mounted in the tail stock. Diameter; and if the stock is solid or tubular will decide on which way round the chuck jaws will need to be mounted. |. By hand; lightly grip the stock in the jaws of the universal chuck (25). Il. Rotate the material by hand to make sure it is sat correctly on the jaws and then pull it out slightly (2mm) from the back of the chuck. iii. Insert the chuck keys (28): Holding the back part of the chuck to stop it from moving; rotate the other chuck key downward. IV. Tighten the chuck at the three points around its body. 14 9. SETTING THE LATHE Warning! Do not make any of the following adjustments with the lathe connected to the power supply. 9.3 REVERSING THE CHUCK JAWS —- FIGS. 6 - 7 The jaws are reversible to suit different situations. When turning and fitting the jaws, close attention must be paid to their order. In the back of the chuck are stamped the numbers 1 to 3. Each jaw has two sets of numbers stamped on it. Depending which way they are to be fitted will dictate their order. The stamped number nearest to the slot is the appropriate one to use. Open the chuck fully and continue doing so until the jaws become free. Turn the back of the chuck until the start of the thread (25b) is aligned just before slot 1. Insert jaw 1 into slot 1 and turn the back of the chuck until the start of the thread is aligned just before slot 2. Continue until all the chuck jaws are locked in place. Note: If the chuck becomes tight to turn, check the individual jaws to make sure they are running true in the slots. FIG. 6 JAW N \F LAT JAW N (FIG. 7 SLOT No. FOR STEPPED STEPPED JAW 15 9. SETTING THE LATHE 9.4 USING THE TAIL STOCK - FIG. 8 If the stock is longer than 50mm the tail stock will provide the necessary support to stop any damage or injury. The longer the stock, the more it will want to whip. The back end of the stock needs to be pre-drilled with a 60° countersink to match the angle of the dead centre. Caution! The countersink must be drilled exactly in the centre of the stock, otherwise the work piece will run off centre. i. Lubricate the tip of the dead centre (6) with a few drops of oil. ii. With the stock mounted in the chuck (25): slide the tail stock (6) to fit into place on the dead centre (5). iii. Tighten the tail stock locking screw (14). iv. Loosen the tail stock barrel screw and move the tail stock feed handle (7) toward the head stock (21). V. Tighten the tail stock barrel screw to lock it in place. Note: Keep the dead centre (5) lubricated to reduce wear on the components. 16 9. SETTING THE LATHE Warning! Do not make any of the following adjustments with the lathe connected to the power supply. 9.5 CARRIAGE ADJUSTMENT —- FIGS. 9 - 10 The carriage and compound slide need careful adjustment before any turning can begin. The carriage slides along the bed bar longitudinally (also known as the Z axis). After the carriage is in position, all movement of the tool is done using the compound slide along the side of the work piece and the cross slide which moves the tool onto the work piece laterally (also known as the X axis). i. Slide the carriage (4) into position and tighten the carriage locking screw (16). WARNING! Make sure no moving parts will impact the carriage assembly. Rotate the chuck several times by hand before starting the lathe. il. Slot the compound angle key over the end of tab and lift it upward to unlock the slide. iii. Carefully set the angle, before pushing down the compound angle key to lock it in position. IV. Remove the compound angle key from tab Ga). V. Turn the cross slide feed handle clockwise to move the tool away from you. One complete turn is equal to 1mm along the X axis. Vi. Turn the compound slide feed handle clockwise to move the tool from right to left. One complete turn is equal to 1mm along the Z axis. Note: If you want to keep a parallel line with the tool bit and the work piece; the angle of the compound slide is very important. В NN 17 10. BASIC LATHE OPERATIONS 10.1 SWITCH BOX OPERATION - FIG. 11 The knowledge of where to find, and how to operate, the emergency stop button is the most important piece of information in this manual. Read and understand this before beginning to use this machine. With the lathe set-up and connected to the power supply: |. Lower the chuck guard (24). Failing to do this will prevent the motor from operating. ii. If not already in position: Turn the variable speed dial anticlockwise (until you hear a click). ii. Release the emergency stop button by pressing it. IV. When the emergency stop button is released the green power indicator light will come on. The motor will be audible (capable of being heard) but will not move. Note: If the green power indicator light does not come on, disconnect the lathe from the power supply before checking the fuse inside holder (17a). V. To start the spindle moving; gradually turn the variable speed dial clockwise. The further round you turn the dial, the greater the speed. Vi. There are three ways to stop the power to the motor. a. Turn the variable speed dial anticlockwise. b. Raise the chuck guard (24). Warning! This is not recommended because you are putting your fingers close to the moving chuck. c. Striking the emergency stop button (18). vii. Remember to reset the variable speed dial and emergency stop button after stopping the lathe. Note: After you have finished with the lathe, it is good practice to leave the emergency stop button pressed in. Note: If the tool begins to chatter try adjusting the speed a little or reduce the depth of cut. With practice and a reasonable amount of time invested you will be able to achieve operations such as turning, facing, grooving (parting), drilling and boring. Due to the subjects complexity any instruction to this detail is beyond the scope of this manual; however, there is a wealth of information on the internet and there are a lot of good text books on the subject of metal lathes and clock maker's lathes. 18 11. MAINTENANCE 11.1 SLIDE ADJUSTMENT — FIG. 12 Regularly check the slide mechanisms: The slide should remain free to move with a smooth action but without any side to side play. Regularly clean and re-oil the slide as build-up of swarf will restrict the feed mechanism. Adjustment should be carried out on the cross slide first: i. With a 5.5mm spanner, loosen all the lock nuts on the cross slide(2) . ii. With a 3mm plain slot screwdriver adjust the gib screws (2b). Turning the screw clockwise increases pressure on the gib strip which in turn restricts the play in the slide mechanism. iii. Continually check the full movement of the slide, because too much pressure will restrict the slide and feed smoothness lost. iv. When you are happy that the slide mechanism remains smooth for its complete travel distance; lock the nuts while stopping the gib screws moving. 11.2 OILING After use, all moving parts should be oiled to help maintain the lathe in a good working order. Additionally, any bare metal surfaces and components will benefit from a regular wipe over with an oil cloth. This will keep components moving freely and prevent rust appearing. 19 12.

HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION 5.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOL USE This section of the lathe manual 22824 applies. 5.2 SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTION FOR MILL USE There are certain risks linked to using any mill, large or small, that have to be guarded against. This manual will advise you on basic safety and how to operate your mill. Beware of contact hazards (crushing). When setting/changing a tool or maintaining the machine avoid crushing injuries sustained between fixed and moving parts of this machine. Beware of contact hazards (cutting or severing). At all times the workpiece shall be clamped, as manual support will lead to injury. Beware of entanglement hazards. Switch off the machine for maintenance, workpiece loading/unloading, swaft/chip removal and cutting/lubrication fluid application, as contact with the rotating spindle or tool will cause entanglement and possibly lead to injury and entrapment. Do not reach over or around the machine at any time. Remove jewellery and tie back long hair. Beware of ejection hazards (thrown). Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped at all times to avoid sudden movement (rotation) or ejection causing injury. Make sure any special tools, associated with tool exchange, i.e. chuck keys, are removed before starting the machine. Beware of stabbing, cutting, or puncture wounds. Take care when handling the tools and avoid contact with swarf and burrs created during drilling as they are extremely sharp. Avoid contact with live parts. During assembly, operation, maintenance and troubleshooting operations, do not remove, open or expose any electrical terminal or control boxes due to the danger of electrocution. If the mains cable is damaged, unplug the machine immediately and have the cable replaced before continuing. Always wear personal protective equipment. Wear personal protective equipment (P.P.E) to avoid contact from harmful fluids, gases or material thrown during the drilling process. Beware of fire or explosion. Do not drill in the vicinity of flammable or combustible materials. Maintain a good posture. When mounting the machine, choose a location that will not lead to an unhealthy posture or repetitive strain during normal operation. Good lighting is important. Adequate lighting must be provided to prevent injuries caused by working in impaired lighting conditions. Beware of unexpected start-up. Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out adjustment, servicing or maintenance. Beware of incorrect fitting. Make sure a suitable tool for the job in hand is securely and correctly fitted before starting the machine. Guards must be fitted and in place at all times. Beware of toppling. The drill shall be positioned on a suitable and level surface to prevent the machine from overturning, leading to injury. Beware of slipping. Make sure the area is clean of any residue cutting/lubrication fluid and other materials which may lead to a slip, trip or other such hazard. 5. HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION 5.3 CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY Make sure the power supply information on the machine’s rating plate are compatible with the power supply you intend to connect it to. This lathe comes supplied with a UK standard 3 pin plug fitted. It is designed for connection to a domestic power supply rated at 230V AC. Because it is constructed mostly of metal parts, it is a Class 1 machine; meaning, it must have an earth connection in the power supply. This is to prevent electrocution in the event of a failure. Apart from replacing the fuse in the plug, no other electrical work is recommended on this lathe. 6. PREPARING THE MILL 6.1 LATHE STRIP DOWN - FIGS. 1-3 To convert the lathe to either the micro mill or drill it must be removed from the wooden base and reconstructed with some additional parts in the upright position. |. Remove the plug from the power supply. il. Loosen the bolt with a 5mm Hex. key. iii. Slide out the bed bar (9) with the carriage assembly (4) and tailstock (6) in position. The bed support foot will drop away. iv. Loosen the carriage locking screen and tailstock locking screw before with-drawing the bed bar (9). V. With one chuck key (28), hold the spindle in place, with the other key, turn the chuck by the outer section anti-clockwise. Remove the chuck (25) and store it away safely. Vi. With a 5mm hex. key, hold the two headstock bolts while removing the 10mm nuts underneath the stand (12). Stock the bolts, washers and nuts safely. 6. PREPARING THE MILL 6.2 WORKTABLE ASSEMBLY - FIGS. 4 - 8 The lathe carriage assembly (4) provide some of the parts to build the mill table mechanism. i. Remove the two bolts (4b) using a 4mm hex. key, and separate the clamping collar (4c) from the underside of the carriage assembly il. Attach the clamping collar (4c) to the back of the vertical adjustment carriage reusing the two bolts (4b) and tighten with a 4mm hex. key. ii. Remove the two cross slot screws holding the rear chip guard (27). Carefully store them away along with the guard to prevent loss or damage. 6. PREPARING THE MILL NOTE: Align the four holes in the vertical adjustment carriage top plate with the four outer holes on the underside of the feed mechanism (4d). Join them together with the four bolts and tighten. Slide the tee pieces into the tee slots in place of the tool post (1). Space them apart so they align with the two holes in table (51), with a No.2 cross slot screwdriver insert the two screw (51c). A small drop of thread lock maybe useful to prevent the screws coming loose from vibration. 51b 10 6. PREPARING THE MILL 6.3 ASSEMBLE MILL PARTS —- FIGS. 9 - 12 NOTE: IV. Align the base hub (40) with the three matching holes in the stand (12). Pass the longer bolts through the base hub and stand (12). Insert all three before attaching the extra large washers and 10mm nuts and tighten. Because the extend column has a circlip to support the headstock the worktable assembly must be fitted first. Slide the worktable assembly onto the column and secure in place with the tailstock locking screw (14). Stand the column in the hub and tighten the two bolts with a 5mm hex. key. 11 6. PREPARING THE MILL V. Carefully slide the headstock down, onto the column (42). Tighten the bolt with the 5mm hex. key. Vi. Screw the geared chuck onto the spindle (23). To ensure the chuck is tight, lock the spindle with chuck key and use the geared chuck key for additional leverage (force). 6.4 SLIDING GUARD - FIG. 13 To provide additional protection from the workpiece and drill chuck, the machine is provided with a sliding guard. I. Locate and separate the 3mm hex. socket bolt and 7mm nut (24b). ii. Position the sliding guard under the main guard with the cutout toward the headstock (21). iii. With the plastic tab sat in the channel bolt the two sections together. NOTE: Do not over tighten as it may damage the guard. 12 7. SETTING THE MILL 7.1 MILLING TOOL INSTALLATION - FIG. 14 The drill chuck has a maximum capacity of 6mm. Open the chuck jaws wide enough for the mill bit. To widen the jaws, insert the chuck key and turn it anti-clockwise. Slide the shank of the mill bit up inside the chuck. Turn the chuck key clockwise to grip the bit in the chuck jaws. Make sure the mill bit is correctly held by the jaws, before tightening the chuck at the three points around its circumference. 13 8. BASIC MILL OPERATIONS 8.1 END MILLING — FIG. 15 Because the headstock is fixed the workpiece must be setup to the necessary height and angle before i. NOTE: Vi. Vil viii NOTE: being feed onto the rotating cutter. Clamp the workpiece firmly to the worktable (51). Use Draper Stock No.06838 vice to safely and securely hold the workpiece. Set the approximate height of the workpiece and secure by tightening carriage locking screw (16). With a 5mm hex. key loosen bolt (505). Adjust the exact height of the workpiece by turning the fine adjustment wheel (500). Turn the wheel from left to right to reduce the distance between mill bit and workpiece. With the 5mm hex. key lock bolt (50b)and the height of the workpiece. Apply a drop of cutting fluid or oil. Start the machine running (refer to 22824 10.4).
