MT3 ANNULAR CUTTER ADAPTOR

This machine is equipped with a unique annular cutter adaptor system with built-in coolant directly to the

gearbox. No stop bar is needed.

1. To install the annular cutter adaptor, first insert the taper end of the adaptor into the arbor of the machine

as described above.

2. Attach the coolant tank to the slide and ensure that the tube is attached

properly.

3. To insert an annular cutter, first insert the pilot pin. Then slide the cutter into

the adaptor, align the proper flat with the locking screw(s) and tighten

securely with the supplied hex wrench.

4. If an arbor with Quick-Release Tool Holder is being used, follow these

instructions: Push up on the quick-release collar. Insert the cutter with pilot

pin and turn until the flat meets the locking pin. When the flat meets the

locking pin, the collar will snap down. Double check to ensure that it is fully

locked.

WARNING: Do not use larger than 60mm cutters in a quick release arbor.

5. Ensure that the oil feed tap is on and coolant feeds properly by pushing the pilot pin. If it feeds too

quickly or slowly, adjust the tap accordingly. Keep the tap closed when not in use.

MAINTENANCE

Every 50 hours of operation blow compressed air through the motor while running at no load to clean out

accumulated dust. (If operating in especially dusty conditions, perform this operation more often.)

1. Keep the machine clean and free of chips.

2. Check for loose fittings and tighten as needed.

3. Ensure that the ventilation slots are clear so that motor can be cooled normally. Blow low-pressure

compressed air through the ventilation slots with the motor running to keep motor clean.

THE ARBOR SHAFT -Semi-Auto Feed versions

Keep the arbor shaft free of dirt and lightly grease as needed. If the arbor support bearing is noisy, it may be

dirty or have a chip lodged in it. Remove the arbor shaft to clean and

re-grease the arbor support bearing.
