15) FITTING THE CHUCK
To remove the arbor, lay the machine on its side.
Unscrew the two grub screws at the top of the arbor.
When the arbor has become detached from the spindle it can then be removed.
Remove the arbor support bracket and guard with the arbor retained.
Mount the chuck using the chuck adaptor.
Replace the chuck in the reverse sequence.
16) MAINTENANCE
In order to 'get the best life' out of your Walter machine always keep it in good working order.
A number of items must always be checked on Walter machines.
Before starting any job, always make sure the machine is in good working order and that there are no damaged or loose
parts.
Any loose parts must be tightened.
Before proceeding with any maintenance work, be certain that the power supply is disconnected.

Visually check the machine for damage.
The machine must be checked before operation for any signs of damage that will affect the operation of the machine.
Particular notice must be taken to the main cable. If the machine appears to be damaged it should not be used,
failure to do so may cause injury or death.
Check machine operation.
The Machine operation must be checked to ensure that all components are working correctly.
Machine Brushes
Should be checked to make sure there is no abnormal wear (this should be checked at least once a week if used
frequently). If the brush has worn more than 2/3 the original length, the brushes should be changed. Failure to do
so may cause damage to the machine.
Magnetic base
Before every operation, the magnetic base should be checked to make sure that the base is flat and there is no
damage present. An uneven magnet base will cause the magnet not to hold as efficiently and may cause injury to
the operator.
Adjustment of slide and bearing bracket alignment.
An essential requirement of the machine is that the slide can move in a smooth and controlled manner, free of lateral
movement and vibration.
