Assembly
1. Screw handles (A, Fig.02) onto handwheel (B,
Fig.3) and tighten.
2. Repeat for remaining handles of table.
Installation
Machine is heavy! Use an appropriate lifting
device and use extreme caution when moving the
machine to its final location.
Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
WARNING!
1. The location for the mill/drill should be well lit, dry,
and have room enough to allow the head to
rotate 360°.
2. Carefully lift the mill/drill with properly rated
equipment to a sturdy stand or working bench.
For best performance, through bolt the mill/drill to
a stand.
We do not recommend that unattached machines be
operated, as the machine will move during
operation!
3. Before bolting the mill/drill to a bench or stand,
the unit must be level in both directions. Place a
level on the table in both directions.
4. If the table of mill is not to level, shim under the
Iow corner(s) until level. Tighten the fastening
bolts. Check for level again. Adjust as necessary
until the mill/drill is level. Check again when
securing bolts are tightened.
Installation Drawing (Fig. 03)
The installation drawing described below may differ
from the real dimensions. The tolerances are in the
range of the general tolerances according to DIN
7168.

CONTROL
Longitudinal Handwheel (A, Fig. 04)
Located on two side of the table. Moves table side to
side.
Cross Feed Handwheel (B, Fig. 04)
Located on the front of the base. Moves table toward,
or away from the column.
Head Elevating handwheel (C, Fig.05),
Locate on the right of column. The head can be
adjusted up or down to suit height requirements for
different workpieces. Turn it clockwise to up head on
the column and counter-clockwise to down. When the
head is at the desired height, lock in place with the
locks
.
Caution: Have to loosen the locks for the slideways
before above operation!
Adjustable Table Stops (D, Fig.06)
Located on table front. Adjust to stop table at any
setting along the longitudinal axis.
Table locks
Longitudinal table locks (E, Fig. 06) are located on
front of the table. Cross-feed table locks (F, Fig.05)
are located on the right side under the table. Turn
clockwise to lock the slideways.
Mill Head locks (G, Fig.07)
Located on the right of column. Turn clockwise to lock
the mill head.
Quill Lock Lever (H, Fig. 07)
Located on the left of the mill head. The height of the
spindle can be locked with the quill lock lever. Set the
desired height with the quill lever and turn the lever
down. Turn clockwise to lock the quill, reverse to
loosen.
Caution: For best results. All milling operations
should be done with the quill/spindle as close to
the head assembly as possible. Lock spindle, table
and mill head in place before starting milling
operations!

MJ
Down feed Handles: (J, Fig. 08):
Located on the right side of the head casting.
Counter-clockwise movement advances the quill
toward the table. Return spring retracts the handles.
The knob (K, Fig. 08) must be loose before the
operating the handles. The graduated dials (L, Fig.
08) on the handle base can be indexed or "zeroed" to
help make accurate and convenient movements.
Fine Down Feed
Turn counter-clockwise the knob (K, Fig. 08) to
engage the fine down feed knob (M, Fig. 08) what
located on the front of the head. Turn it according to
you want to move downward, Clockwise turn the
hand wheel to down feed the spindle, reverse to
retract it.
Mill Head Rotation
The head is designed to tilt 90° either left or right,
enabling it to perform task such as angle drilling or
horizontal slotting. Loosen the lock nuts (N, Fig. 09)
under the head. Rotate the head to its desired
position, using the reference guide (O, Fig.09). Once
in place, re-tighten the lock nuts.
Note: make sure to provide support for the head
so it doesn't unexpectedly rotate on its own.
Always maintain control of the head.
Caution: Even at Iow spindle speeds, metal
fragments from the cutting process can be expelled
by the mill/drill. Always wear eyewear and
protective clothing when operating the machine!

WARNING!
Arbor Replacement
1. Disconnect machine from the power source,
unplug.
2. Hold the flat of spindle (B, Fig.15) to keep it from
moving while loosening the drawbar (C, Fig 16)
with the 22-25 spanner in toolbox.
3. Loosen the drawbar approximately three to four
full turns.
4. Tap the drawbar head with a rubber mallet to
dislodge the arbor.
5. Grasp the arbor with on hand while loosening the
drawbar with the other. Continue to loosen the
drawbar until the arbor can be withdrawn from
the spindle. Wipe out the spindle with a clean dry
rag.
6. Wipe down the new arbor with a clean dry rag
and place the arbor into the spindle. Thread the
drawbar into the arbor. Tighten the drawbar with
a spanner while holding the spindle.
WARNING!
Do not loosen the drawbar more than three or
four turns before hitting with a rubber mallet.
Damage to the drawbar threads may occur!

GIBS ADJUSTMENT
After a period of time, movement of the table over the
ways will cause normal wear. Adjust the gibs to
compensate for this wear.
1. The horizontal gib adjustment screw (A, Fig.17) is
found to the rear right on table. The traverse gib
adjustment screw (B, Fig.17) is found on the right
side of saddle under the table. The vertical gib
adjustment screw (C, Fig.18) is found onto the
column.
2. Loose the screw from small taper end of gib. Turn
the screw from large taper end of gib slightly
clockwise to tighten. Turn the table handwheel and
check the tension.
3. Re-adjust as required.

Maintenance
Keep the maintenance of the machine tool during the operation to guarantee the accuracy and
service life of the machine.
1. In order to retain the machine's precision and functionality, it is essential to treat it with care, keep
it clean and grease and lubricate it regularly. Only through good care, you can be sure that the
working quality of the machine will remain constant. Disconnect the machine plug from the
mains supply whenever you carry out cleaning, maintenance or repair work!
2. Lubrication all slideways lightly before every use. The leadscrew must also be lightly lubricated
with lithium base grease.
3. During the operation, the chips what falls onto the sliding surface should be cleaned timely, and
the inspection should be often made to prevent chips falling into sliding ways. Asphalt felt should
be cleaned at certain time. Do not remove the chips with your bare hands. There is a risk of
cuts due to sharp-edged chips.
4. After the operation every day, eliminate all the chips and clean different part of the machine and
apply machine oil to prevent rusting.
5. In order to maintain the machining accuracy, take care of the arbor, drawbar, the surface of the
worktable and the guide way and avoid mechanical damage and the wear due to improper guide.
6. If the damage is found, the maintenance should be done immediately.
