Warning Do not operate the mill in any function unless the head clamping lever

is tightened.

Tool Changing

Note. The taper socket in the spindle mandrel does not have a ‘drive flat’ and all tooling,

including the drill chuck is secured and driven by the taper lock and the draw bar.

Make sure the power is switched off or better still remove the power from the machine.

Locate and put to hand the 8mm A/F spanner and the tommy bar. Remove the Draw Bar Cover.

Hold the quill immoveable by inserting the tommy bar into the quill hold pocket and loosen the

draw bar. Unscrew two or three turns and then strike sharply with a hammer (preferably a copper

face, to prevent the head of the draw bar peining over) this will break the lock between the tool

and the spindle tapers .

Unscrew the draw bar from the tool. Ensure the tool is supported, i.e. will not fall onto the

workpiece/table et al. When it is free put the tool carefully aside, remove the draw bar, check the

thread, check the taper and the thread of the new tool are clean and undamaged, introduce the

new tool into the taper, re-insert the draw bar and screw into the top of the tool.

Screw in the draw bar finger tight. Hold the quill immoveable and tighten with the spanner. DO

NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Replace the draw bar cover.

Remove all tooling and reconnect the machine. Ensure the tool path is clear, switch on, and

check that the tool is correctly seated, is running true etc. If all is O.K, proceed.

Milling (all cases) Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped to the

table.

Along the longitudinal Axis (X) Ensure that the quill is locked in position before

milling is commenced. Ensure the traverse slide lock

is tightened.

Along the Traverse Axis (Y) Ensure that the quill is locked in position before

milling is commenced. Ensure the worktable lock is

tightened.

Milling or Drilling Vertically (Z) Ensure the traverse slide and the worktable locks are

tightened.
