Locking Lever Adjustment (Fig. E)
Excessive force should not be used to clamp the locking lever.
Using excessive force may damage the base.
When the locking lever is clamped, the motor should not move
in the base.
Adjustment is needed if the locking lever will not clamp without
excessive force or if the motor moves in the base after clamping.
To adjust the locking lever's clamping force:
1. Open the locking lever
2. Using a hex wrench turn locking lever adjustment screw
in small increments.Turning the screw clockwise tightens
the lever, while turning the screw anticlockwise loosens
the lever.
Centreing the Subbase (Fig. E, F1–F3)
If you need to adjust, change, or replace a subbase, a centreing
tool is recommended. The centreing tool consists of a cone and
a pin.
To adjust a subbase, follow the steps below.
Figure F1 shows adjusting the D‑shaped subbase on the
fixed base.
Figure F2 shows adjusting the subbase on the plunge base.
Figure F3 shows adjusting the round subbase on the fixed base.
1. Loosen but do not remove the subbase screws
subbase moves freely.
2. Insert the pin into the collet and tighten the collet nut.
3. Insert the motor into the base and clamp the locking
lever 12 / 40 on the base.
4. Place the cone on the pin and lightly press down on the
cone until it stops. This will centre the subbase.
