INITIAL ASSEMBLY - REMOVING THE SPLASH GUARD ! DISCONNECT THE LATHE FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY 1) Remove the four Phillip screws and pull out the electrical back plate to the rear of the lathe and lay the circuit board to one side. (See fig 1 & 2 ) (NOTE. Be careful when lifting out the electrical circuit board as it contains delicate components) 2) Locate a 5mm allen key and 10mm spanner, remove the two caphead bolts and nuts that secures one side of the splash guard to the headstock.

(See fig 5) 4) Remove the splash guard and place safely aside. Fig 5 INITIAL ASSEMBLY - MOUNTING THE MILL ! WARNING When mounting the Mill to the Lathe, we strongly advise you get the assistance of another person because of the weight of the machine.

D C Step 4 C B Locate the tilt housing casting and three M8x30 caphead bolts and washers.
INITIAL TESTING ! Please read the section entitled Identification and Parts description so that you may more easily identify the parts to which reference is made in the text. Testing When the Mill is mounted to your satisfaction, proceed as follows:a) Close the chuck jaws b) Check the millhead is ‘locked’ in position on the column. c) Check that all loose items are removed from the worktable. d) Set the worktable approximately mid-positioned under the chuck jaws.
PARTS IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION Please take some time to identify the various parts of your machine so that you are familiar with the terminology we will use to enable you to set up and operate your Mill safely and correctly. Main tool post This is the column of the mill, it is an 65 x 50 bar with a dovetail slide machined on the front onto which the milling head is mounted, the lower part there is a pre-drilled hole which slides over the tilt housing shaft and secured in place by a 36mm nut.

PARTS IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION Tri-Lever feed Three levered handle that is used to drive the quill (and hence the chuck or the tool) up and down. The boss of the handle is fitted to the end of a ‘splined’ gear shaft. This ‘splined’ gear is, in turn, engaged in the rack cut into the quill body.
