Installation
1. UNPLUG THE MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Mount the back plate on the spindle.
3. Accurately measure the inside of the back
relief bore on the chuck. This dimension is
critical and should be 0.001''.
* Maximum handle torque and gripping force
is given at full jaw and scroll gear engage-
ment. If jaw and scroll gear are partially
engaged, clamping force and gripping force is
reduced.
4. Face the back plate to true it. Make passes
across the face until its entire surface has
been cut.
5. Turn a shoulder into the face 1⁄8'' deep and
0.001" to 0.002'' larger than the back relief
bore diameter. Remember that this is a press
fit. Chamfer the corner a small amount to
prevent any burrs when installing.

For optimum performance from your chuck,
follow the maintenance schedule below, and
never hammer on the chuck, jaws, or a workpiece
clamped in the chuck. Never subject the chuck to
abrasives, flame, or water.
Note: Each jaw is marked
1, 2, or 3 to correspond
to its marked slot in the
chuck.

components. Inspect all bores, teeth, pins,
and mating surfaces for wear, burrs, galling,
rust, or cracks.
Use a vacuum, rag, or brush to clean the
chuck after use. Never use air pressure to
clean chips away from a chuck.
6. Without changing the dimension of any part,
use a wire brush, emery cloth, or dressing
stones, to remove all rust, burrs, and any
high spots caused by galling.
•
•
Avoid leaving the chuck clamped on a
workpiece, unload the chuck jaws daily.
Make sure the chuck key is removed from
the chuck when not using the key.
7. Coat all parts with any automotive NLGI #2
grease, and carefully reassemble the chuck
in the reverse order shown in Figure 2.
If the chuck ever becomes stiff to operate, it may
have been contaminated with metal chips or
abrasives from neglect or poor service practices.
The chuck must be dissembled, cleaned, and re-
lubricated.
8. Rotate the chuck key clockwise until you
see the tip of the scroll-gear lead thread just
begin to enter jaw guide #1.
To disassemble the chuck for a full cleaning
and lubrication service:
9. Insert jaw #1 into jaw guide #1, and hold the
jaw against the scroll-gear.
1. UNPLUG THE MACHINE FROM POWER!
10. Rotate the chuck key clockwise one turn to
engage the tip of the scroll-gear lead thread
into the jaw. Pull the jaw; it should be locked
into the jaw guide.
2. Mark the chuck and the mounting plate
where they mate to ensure that when
reassembled both halves line up. Next,
unbolt the chuck and separate both halves.
11. Install the other jaws in the same manner,
3. Insert and rotate the chuck key
counterclockwise until the scroll-gear has
released all three jaws.
and install a new grease fitting.
12. Line up the timing mark on the chuck and
the mounting plate, and fasten both halves
by tightening and torquing the fasteners as
outlined in Step 9 in Chuck Installation.
4. Using a basic set of metric hex wrenches
and a #1 standard screwdriver, start at #1
and disassemble the chuck in the sequence
shown in Figure 2.
