6.

Insert the chuck onto the spindle, then check

the position of each camlock, making sure
the cam line points between the "V" marks.

— If one or more of the cams do not point

between the "V" marks on the chuck,
remove the chuck, and fine tune the
camlock stud adjustment by adjusting the
stud in or out and using Figure 48 on
the following page as a guide to correctly
position the cam lines.

3.

Thread each cam-lock stud into the chuck

or faceplate until the depth mark shown in
Figure 45 is even with the surface of the
chuck or faceplate and the curved indent
on the side of the stud faces the locking cap
screw hole, as shown in Figure 46. This is
an initial adjustment.
