Cocking the Quick Release Chuck
The quick release chuck must be cocked in order to install a bit. To cock
the chuck, press all the way up on the chuck release flange (See Figure
25) and release. The outer flange will snap up when the chuck is
prepared to receive the bit assembly. Any time difficulty is encountered
inserting a bit and adapter simply pull up on the flange to insure the chuck
is cocked.
Bit Assembly Installation
When a carving function has been selected from the display menu, the
CompuCarve will move the cutting head to the center of the machine and
prompt for the required bit.
