And Pivot Shaft To The Dovetail Base - Craftsman 17125455 Operating Instructions Manual

ASSEMBLY OFTHECAMHANDLES A NDPIVOT
SHAFT TOTHEDOVETAIL BASE
• After the cam handles and pivot shaft have been assem _
bled to the base, it wil! be possible to accurately position
the templates for close fitting joints
• Note that there are some graduations on both template
supports
• Rotating the cam handle so that the pointer lines up with
one of the graduations permits accurate front-to-back posi-
tioning of the template
• Cam handles are designed to provide infinite template
adjustment
• One graduation equals 1/64" of movement of the tem-
plate
• Rotating the cam handle so that the lever moves toward
the front of the base, causes the template to also move
towards the lront of the base
• Conversely rotating the cam handle so that the lever
moves toward the back of the base, causes the template
to also move Iowards the back of the base also
1 Assemble one of the cam handles to the pivot shaft
using a #10-32 x 5/8" tong panhead machine screw and a
13/64" I D x 9/16" ID washer as shown in Figure 9
2 Use care so that the pivot shaft fits into the hex-shaped
hole in the cam handle The pivot shaft may fit tightly into
the cam handle; this is normal

cam handie

about 2" The retainer may fit tightly; this is normal
