Push the upgraded XZ Axis Assembly in the X + direction with your hand,
while turning the screw clockwise with your right hand for 5-6 turns,
observe that the screw is completely screwed into the left nut and then
release your left hand and continue to rotate the screw so that the screw
exceeds the left end of the upgraded head by about 20-30mm.
When the above steps are not possible, please remove the upgraded

Change the Spindle Holder (Optional)
There needs to be a separate section for mounting 52mm motors and the
SainSmart lasers. Or it could be incorporated here.
The machine is compatible with 52mm motors and by changing the spindle
holder 65mm and 69mm trimmer routers such as Makita 65mm trimmer
router and DEWALT 69mm trimmer router, by changing the spindle holder.
You need to order these compatible spindle holders separately.
Firstly, loosen the spindle motor fixing screw on the original spindle clamp
base and remove the spindle motor and its washer.
As shown in the picture, remove the 4 sets of screws on both sides of the
original spindle holder.

②
Align the screw holes on both sides of the spindle holder you purchased
with its fixing holes and tighten the screws on both sides.
Attach the new spindle to the spindle holder and tighten the spindle fixing
screws.
Note that the order of the above steps should not be disturbed, otherwise
it will make the installation more complicated.
