the motor nameplate. If the motor is dual voltage, be sure to use the amp rating for the voltage you
will be using. If you use an extension cord with an undersized gauge or one that is too long, excessive
heat will be generated within the circuit, increasing the chance of a fire or damage to the circuit.

Ball fittings, shown in =`^li\j ,/,0, should be lubri-

squirt a little oil under pressure. Make sure to clean the

The gib on the cross-slide is adjusted by tightening or
loosening the two outside setscrews located on the right
hand side of the slide, as shown in =`^li\-+. The large
setscrew in the middle is used to lock the cross slide in
place during machining operations. Before adjusting the
gib screws, loosen this setscrew.

The gib on the compound has two setscrews to maintain
tension on the slide. To adjust, loosen/tighten the set-
screws as needed (see =`^li\-,) until a slight drag is
felt when moving the compound hand crank.

There are two setscrews that tension the saddle gib.
Before making adjustments to the saddle gib, ensure that
the front lock lever is loose by turning it counterclock-
