To install a chuck or faceplate:
1.
DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2.
Place a piece of plywood across the lathe
ways and position it just under the chuck.
3.
With the help of a hoist or with an assistant,
place the chuck on the cradle.
Note: If installing the 4-jaw chuck, use the
provided lifting eye (Figure 17) to attach a
lifting cable or chain.
Figure 17. Lifting eye.
4.
Make sure the chuck taper and spindle taper
mating surfaces are perfectly clean.
5.
Inspect and make sure that all camlock studs
are undamaged, are clean and lightly oiled,
and that the camlock stud cap screws are in
place and snug.
NOTICE
Never install a chuck or faceplate without
having the camlock cap screws in place
or fully tightened. If you ignore this notice,
once installed the chuck may never be able
to be removed since the camlock studs will
turn with the camlocks and never release.

Align the chuck-to-spindle timing marks
(Figure 19), and slide the chuck onto the
spindle.
7.

cam line falls between the "V" marks Figure

Lock the other cams in a star pattern so the
chuck is drawn up evenly on all sides without
any chance of misalignment.
Note: If any of the cam lock marks (Figure 18)
do not fall between the "V" marks when the
cam lock is tight, you must adjust the offend-
ing camlock stud as discussed in Camlock
Stud Adjustment on Page 26.
