Spindle

Mounting the tools on the spindle (fig.18)

1 Set the brake release switch of the selector switch on in order to free the brake and turn the

spindle free by hand and set the Allen key on the countersunk Allen bolt on top of the spindle

arbor (1)

2 Push the locking lever (2) to the right and, at the same time, manually turn the spindle arbor (3)

until the lower locking pin locks into the hole in the spindle.

3 Now loosen the clamp screw on top of the arbor with the Allen Key.

4 Always mount the spindle as low as possible on the arbor, so the bearing isn’t overloaded.

5 Mount the correct number of spindle rings and tighten the screw, on top of the arbor.

6 When the lever (2) is released, the locking of the spindle arbour is automatically disengaged.

7 Always lock the position of the spindle height by locking the handle (3) behind the handwheel.

Adjusting the spindle height (g. 18)

1 Unlock the locking lever (3) by turning it to the left.

2 The spindle arbour can be raised or lowered using the hand wheel (4).

3 After height adjustment always secure the spindle arbour by locking the lever (3) by turning it to

the right.

Remark: When, after intensive use of the locking lever (3), it is no longer possible to lock this lever, take

off the nut and remove the lever. Then turn it 1/6 turn to the right before putting it back on again. Put the

nut back on and tighten it.

The spindle fence

Working with the spindle fence (fig. 19)

The spindle fence is tted onto the table with two locking knobs (1). The body of the spindle fence is

equipped with two slots which enables front and back movement. When the fence is tted onto the table,

the position of the aluminium fence plates can be adjusted by means of the adjustment knob (2). The

opening of the 2 fence plates goes like follows: loosen the wing nut (3) which hold the fence and move

the fence towards each other, so there is a minimal gap between the protruding tool and the fence plates.

It is advisable to use a false fence or integrated fence which is mounted between the 2 spindle fences.

The adjustment of the fences can be checked with a at and precise rule.

Before starting the machine, the blocking of the bars of the fences on the table has to be checked. The

wood pushers exert vertical and horizontal pressure on the work piece, which pushes the work piece

against the table and the fence and which makes it slide easily. The manual wood pusher (g. 20),

supplied with the machine, can be used to push the wood safely. Not one element is xed on the useful

table surface. The 10 mm space between the base of the horizontal wood pusher and the table makes it

possible to move the wood pusher under the wood pushers. To replace the spindle tool, or to make use

of the feeder, the whole pusher system can be cleared by ipping it over to the back of the spindle fence:

Pull the lever in the direction of the arrow. Lift up a little the cover plate. Now the system can be ipped

over to the back. This part will prevent the fences from falling down. It is advisable to use a Q1
