Installation & Assembly
Tools required for assembly
forklift or hoist with straps/slings
11mm wrench (provided)
[NOTE: A socket set with ratchet wrench may
speed assembly]
4 and 5mm hex wrenches (provided)
knife or wire cutter
1. Remove the four screws and flat washers
holding the machine to the pallet with an
11mm wrench, as shown in Figure 1.
2. Place lifting straps through the two eyebolts
at the top of the machine (Figure 2). Using
a forklift or hoist, lift the machine off the
pallet and into its desired location. The
Dovetailer should be located in a dry area
with sufficient lighting. Leave plenty of
space around the machine for operations
and routine maintenance work.
3. When the machine is situated, the eyebolts
(Figure 2) can be left on the machine, or
unscrewed and removed, if so desired. Be
sure to retain the eye bolts for future use.
4. If desired, the Dovetailer can be further
stabilized by securing it to the floor, using
lag screws through the four holes at the
bottom of the cabinet.
The dovetailer should be
unplugged from the power source during
assembly procedures.
5. A cord holds the headstock secure to an
eyebolt to prevent the headstock from
moving during shipping. This cord should
now be cut and removed.
6. Exposed metal areas of the dovetailer
(such as the table, template bar, clamp
bars, rods, etc.) have been factory coated
with a protectant. This should be removed
with a soft cloth dampened with kerosene
or mineral spirits. Do not use an abrasive
pad. Do not let solvent contact plastic or
rubber parts as it may damage them.
Installing Handle
The rubber-covered handle (Figure 3) has been
placed backwards for shipping purposes, and
must be reversed before operating the machine.
1. Remove the four socket head cap screws
from the headstock (two of them are holding
the handle), and turn the handle around as
shown in Figure 3.
2. Secure the handle to the headstock with all
four socket head cap screws.
