Tools, Manually Loading and Unloading a Holder
A tool can be manually loaded or unloaded into the spindle by using the
TOOL IN/OUT button.
1) The tool holder must be held in the left hand with the thumb
and the first finger grasping the holder below the "V" groove.
No other fingers should have contact with the holder or the tool
in the holder. The area below the "V" groove is called the safe
zone. The safe zone is the only place where the tool holder
should be held.
2) When unloading a tool from the spindle, grasp the tool in the
safe zone and press the TOOL IN/OUT button. Keep the TOOL
IN/OUT button pressed until the tool is completely out of the
spindle.
When loading a tool into the spindle, grasp the tool in the safe zone and
press the TOOL IN/OUT button. Place the holder into the spindle after
pressing the TOOL IN/OUT button, not before. The keys on the nose of
the spindle must fit into the key-ways on the tool holder flange. Release
the TOOL IN/OUT button to lock the tool into the spindle.
