to the machine.
Make sure that the switch is in “OFF"
position and that the power cord is
unplugged.
• If installed, remove the table insert to allow better
access the spindle seat.
• Using a 17 mm wrench to hold the spindle seat
stationary, screw the bottom threads of the spindle
into the spindle seat counter clockwise until hand
tight.
• Use a second 17 mm wrench, placed over the
retaining nut on the spindle (see Figure 4), to tighten
the spindle no more than another ½ turn.
NOTE: Do not over tighten the spindle as this can make
it difficult to remove later.
