6. DO NOT FORCE THE EQUIPMENT. The Multi-Purpose Machine will do the work
better and safer at the speed and capacity for which it was designed.
7. KEEP ALL GUARDS IN PLACE AND IN WORKING ORDER.
8. REMOVE ALL ADJUSTING WRENCHES FROM THE MULTIPURPOSE
MACHINE BEFORE TURNING IT ON.
9. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure you are prepared to begin
work before turning the START switch on.
10. ALLOW THE MULTIPURPOSE MACHINE TO SPIN UP TO FULL SPEED BE-
FORE DRILLING OR CUTTING. When turning it off, allow the unit to spin down
and stop on its own. Do not press against the drill bit or other cutting accessory to
stop it.
11. DO NOT FORCE THE MATERIAL INTO THE DRILL BIT OR OTHER CUTTING
ACCESSORY WHEN DRILLING OR CUTTING. Apply moderate pressure,
allowing the drill bit or cutting accessory to function without being forced.
12. NEVER ATTEMPT TO REMOVE MATERIAL STUCK IN THE MOVING PARTS
OF THE MULTIPURPOSE MACHINE WHILE IT IS PLUGGED IN AND RUN-
NING.
13. ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE MULTIPURPOSE MACHINE FROM ITS ELEC-
TRICAL SUPPLY SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY SERVICES OR
MAINTENANCE such as leaving the work area, changing workpieces, drill bits
and other cutting accessories, cleaning metal shavings from the unit, etcetera.
14. WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities, contain chemicals known (to the State of California)
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks
and cement or other masonry products, arsenic and chromium from chemical
treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often
you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a
well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
To Install The Multi-Purpose Machine Onto A Workbench:
1. Make sure the workbench upon which the Machine is to be located is flat, level,
and sturdy enough to bear the weight of the machine, its accessories, and work-
ing material.
2. Remove the outer packing/shipping material from the Machine.
3. Remove the four shipping anchor bolts and nuts that attach the Base of the
Machine to the wooden shipping pallet.
4. CAUTION: When lifting the Machine, make sure to use an overhead hoist, or
other lifting device, and hoist chains, having a weight lifting capacity sufficient for
the weight of this Machine.
5. Attach an adequate number of hoist chains securely to both sides of the
Machine. NOTE: Insert wooden blocks on both sides of the Machine (between
the Machine and the hoist chains) to avoid damage to the Machine when lifting.

NOTE: For additional references to the parts listed below, refer to the Assembly
Diagrams on pages 20 through 23.
The Main Spindle:
1. Use the Combined Switch (part #B) to engage the Main Spindle and select either
the stop, forward, or reverse running positions. For the stop selection, turn the
Combined Switch to its middle position. For the forward running selection, turn
the Combined Switch to the right. For the reverse running selection, turn the
Combined Switch to the left. (See Figure C.)

The Milling/Drilling Spindle:
1. First you will need to choose which function you want to use (either milling
operation or lathe operation). Take off black plastic cover over the Lathe/Mill
Selector Knob (A). For lathe operation rotate the Knob and push it INWARD. For
mill operation, rotate the Knob and pull it OUT.
2. The Milling/Drilling Head (part #68) may be horizontally turned 360 degrees. To
do so, unlock the Shaft Clamp Lever (part #C). Turn the Milling/Drilling Head to
the desired position. Then, re-lock the Shaft Clamp Lever. (See Figure C, and
Assy. Diagram.)
3. The Drilling/Milling Spindle feed depth can be set with the Operating Handle (part
#E). To do so, turn off the Machine, and disconnect it from its electrical power
source. Unlock the Sleeve Clamp Lever (part #G). Use the Operating Handle to
lower the Spindle to the desired depth. Then, lock the Operating Handle in place,
using the Sleeve Clamp Lever. (See Figure C.)
4. To use the micro feeding feature of the Drilling/Milling Spindle, turn off the
Machine, and disconnect it from its electrical power source. Then, turn the
Microfeed Handle (part #F) to the
right to increase
the depth of the feed. Or turn
the Microfeed Handle to the
left to decrease
the depth of the feed. (See Figure
C.)
5. To change the Drilling/Milling Spindle RPM, turn off the Machine, and
disconnect it from its electrical power source. Remove the Knob (part #96)
and Flat Washer (part #88) which are located on the Pulley Shell (part #98).
Remove the Pulley Shell. Then, position the V-Belt in the appropriate grooves of
the two Cone Pulleys (parts #79, #95) to obtain the desired RPM (375, 500, 675,
900, 1,180, or 1,600 RPM). (See Figures D, E, and Assy. Diagram.)
6. When done, replace the Pulley Shell (part #98), Flat Washer (part #88), and Knob
(part #96).

The Longitudinal Feed:
1. Use the Longitudinal Motion Lever (part #M) to slide the Tail Stock along the
bedways horizontally. The Tail Stock can be unlocked and locked in position
using the Tailstock Lock Lever (part #L). (See Figure C.)
2. The Tail Stock
Barrel
position can be adjusted by unlocking the Tail Stock Barrel
Clamp Lever (part #J), turning the Tail Stock Hand Wheel (part #K), and re-
locking the Tailstock Barrel Clamp Lever.
Cross Feeding:
1.
Hand feeding
can be accomplished by manually operating the Cross Feed Hand
Wheel (part #I). The Cross Feed Hand Wheel can be unlocked and locked in
position using the Carriage Lock Lever (part #N). (See Figure C.)
LUBRICATION
1. The Machine’s lubricating points should be lubricated at least once daily, accord-
ing to the lubrication chart. (See Figure F, next page.)
2. In addition, the Spindle Bearings should be lubricated with grease regularly, and
cleaned once a year.
3. The machine should be lubricated through the oil cups near the headstock using
a manual type of oil can. Lubricate using only a little oil at a time.
4. The Worm Gear and Half Nuts Bearings should be lubricated once a month to
prevent wearing.

CLEANING, INSPECTION, AND MAINTENANCE
1.
Caution:
Always disconnect the Multi-Purpose Machine from its electrical power
supply source before performing any cleaning, inspection, or maintenance.
2. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Multi-Purpose Machine.
Inspect switch, power plug and cord assembly, and extension cord (if used) for
damage. Check for loose screws, misalignment, binding of moving parts, bro-
ken, cracked parts, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If
abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn off the Multi-Purpose Machine immedi-
ately and have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use damaged
equipment.
3. Do not introduce water into the electric motor through the motor vents.
4. With a brush, soft cloth, or vacuum, remove excess metal shavings from the
Multi-Purpose Machine.
5. If necessary, wipe with a damp cloth. You may use a mild solvent.
6. Once clean, lubricate all moving parts with a light oil.
7. When storing, keep the Multi-Purpose Machine covered with a cloth cover.
CHANGING THE LATHE SPEEDS
To change the lathe speed you must first remove the Pulley Shell (36) which is
attached by the two Bottom Head Screws (35). Next you must create slack in the
V-Belt (23) by turning the Movable Joint Bolt (167) counterclockwise. Once there
is sufficient slack in the V-Belt, remove it from the two pulleys and re- position it
on different grooves on the pulleys to change the speed. The smallest groove
on the Motor Pulley (168) will produce the speed of 500 RPM. The middle
groove on the Motor Pulley (168) will produce the speed of 900 RPM. The larg-
est groove on the Motor Pulley (168) will produce a speed of 1600 RPM. After
you have repositioned the V-Belt turn the Moveable Joint Bolt (167) until you
have the proper tension on the belt. Then tighten the nut (172) to lock it in place.
The final step is to replace the Pulley Shell (36).
