Assembly
After the machine is placed in the final location,
and before the lifting apparatus is removed,
you should install the machine feet. Included
with your machine are four cushioned feet with
built-in adjustment studs (see Figure 7). These
feet are easily installed and provide for accurate
machine leveling.
To install the feet:
1. Using lifting equipment and wooden blocks,
raise and support the machine base so there
is approximately 5" between the floor and
underside of the base.
2. Remove the jam nuts from the foot studs.
3. Apply any general-purpose automotive
grease to the stud threads.
4. Thread the studs into the machine base
from the bottom up until the studs emerge
from the cabinet floor approximately 2" (see
Figure 7).

5. Thread the jam nuts onto the protruding
studs but do not tighten them at this time.
6. Place the machine onto the floor.
7. Using a precision level on the machine table,
adjust the feet studs, so the machine is level
from side-to-side and front-to-back.
8. Use a 19mm wrench to tighten the jam nuts
inside of the cabinet and lock the feet studs
into place.
Note: Over the course of the next six months,
periodically verify that the machine is still
level, and re-adjust the feet as required.
9. Rotate the top handwheel counterclockwise
to raise the headstock slightly. Then remove
the wood support block (see Figure 8).

10. Using a 14mm wrench, install the two
handles into the handwheels (Figure 9).
