General Operating Instructions Warning Do not operate the mill in any function unless the head clamping lever is tightened. Tool Changing Note. The taper socket in the spindle mandrel does not have a ‘drive flat’ and all tooling, including the drill chuck is secured and driven by the taper lock and the draw bar. Make sure the power is switched off or better still remove the power from the machine.
Settings and adjustments Feed scales The three thimbles that are mounted on the feed shafts of the worktable, the traverse feed and the fine feed control should move freely with the motion of the handles and not slip. The thimbles can be turned, using more force, independently of the handle in order to set a predetermined start or finish point.
Give the motor a good ‘blow through’ to remove any dust, dirt etc, b) Check all the interlocks function correctly. Accessories There are numerous accessories for the machine listed in the Axminster catalogue. Some are illustrated at the rear of this manual.
