spindle nut (D) onto the spindle.
6. Unlock the main shaft.

cedure.
CAUTION: Always include the safety washer

TER AND CHECKING IT FOR TIGHTNESS, CHECK
AGAIN! Make certain the direction of cutter is cor-
rect and that the stacking collar, safety washer and
spindle nut are all tightened securely!
WARNING: Be sure to release the lock knob
from the main shaft before starting machine (Figure
10).

a 6-3/8" (160mm) diameter, a 2-7/16" (60mm) diam-
eter and an oval opening (for a tilted spindle). See
Figure 15. The smaller insert has a guide shoulder
of 3-3/16" (80mm) which is used for the purpose of
copying.
