Replacement of Jaws
There are two types of jaws: the internal
jaws and external jaws. Please note that the
number of jaws fit with the number inside the
chuck’s groove. Do not mix them together.
When you are going to mount the jaws,
mount them in ascending order. When they
are taken out, make sure to take them out in
descending order (3-2-1) one by one. After
you finish this procedure, rotate the jaws to
the smallest diameter and check that the three
jaws are well fitted (see figure 7).
If the jaws do not fit well together, you will need to
reassemble them again.
When mounting a workpiece, it is recommended
that all three jaws are loosened at the same time.
This will protectthe threads inside.
Compound Rest Adjustment
To adjust the compound rest, loosen the two
screws as shown in figure 8 (A). After adjusting
to the required angle, tighten the screws.
To change position or replace the tailstock, loosen the nut as shown in (A) of figure 9.
Replacement of Carbon Brushes

speed controller as shown in (B) of figure 10-B.
