Replacing Gas
Spring
To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.
The gas spring, shown in Figure 38, keeps the
headstock under pressure so it does not drop
when the hand lever is released. If you notice that
the gas spring is not working correctly, replace it
promptly.
