BE SURE THE FLATS FACE THE SET SCREWS.
TIGHTEN THE TWO SET SCREWS IN THE BASE. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
NOTE: APPLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF WHITE GREASE ON BOTH WAYS. THIS IS

STEP 5
LOCATE THE TWO BOTOM PART OF THE CLAMPS & THE SWING ARM(3/8 X 1. X 3).
ASSEMBLE THE CLAMPS WITH THE 8-32 X 1/2 SCREWS AS SHOWN. DO NOT TIGHTEN ALL
THE WAY YET.




STEP 6
INSERT THE MOTO TOOL ONTO THE CLAMPS AS SHOWN. TIGHTEN THE 8-32 SCREWS AT
THE BOTTOM OF THE CLAMPS.

STEP 7
LOCATE THE TOP OFTHE CLAMP, SET IT IN PLACE AND INSERT THE 10-32
SCREWS. TIGHTEN BY HAND AT FIRST UNTIL THEY BOTTOM OUT AND APPEAR EVEN ON
BOTH SIDES


STEP 8
NOW TIGHTEN THE 10-32 SCREWS WITH THE WRENCH, GOING A LITTLE AT A TIME TO
EACH SCREW UNTIL ALL APPEAR TO BE EVEN AND TIGHT. MAKE SURE TOOL IS TIGHT, AND
DOES NOT SLIP OR TWIST. IMPORTANT; DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN, CLAMPS COULD CRUSH
THE MOTO TOOL BODY. ESPECIALLY ON THE XPR 400 OVER THE TOP OF THE BRUSH ACCESS
DOORS. MAKE SURE THE RPM IS NOT AFFECTED. TURN ON THE TOOL AND LOOSEN AND
TIGHTENING WHILE RUNNING. LISTEN FOR CHANGES IN PITCH


STEP 9
LOCATE THE 1/4-20 X 1.1/2 SCREW AND WASHER. INSERT IN ONE OF THE TWO
MOUNTING HOLES ON THE Z TOWER, TIGHTEN SNUGLY, BUT ENOUGH SO YOU CAN MOVE
THE ARM AND TOOL. USE SOMETHING THAT IS SQUARE (MACHINEST SQUARE,
PROTRACTOR, OR ANYTHING THAT IS TRUE.) LOWER THE SWING ARM, AND SQUARE IT UP
TO THE X TABLE AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE CLAMPS. NOTE: FOR SETTING ANGLES USE THE
SAME PROCEDURE.NOW TIGHTEN THE SWING ARM SCREW WITH THE WASHER IN PLACE AS

STEP 10
LOCATE THE TOOL PLATE 5/16 X 1.1/2 X 4..


STEP 11
INSERT THE TOOL PLATE IN THE X TABLE AS SHOWN. MAKE SURE THE BLACK KNOB LOCK
SCREWS ARE BACKED OFF FROM THE TABLE SLOT, IT SHOULD MOVE FREELY BACK AND
FOURTH, WITH NO PLAY SIDE TO SIDE. THIS IS THE MOVABLE WORKING SURFACE AND
ACTS AS A Y TABLE. THERE ARE 4 10-32 TAPPED HOLES TO MOUNT AND HOLD YOUR WORK
DOWN. THE PLATE CAN BE MOVED IN AND OUT BY HAND, AND WILL MAKE AN ACCURATE
CUT WHEN SAWING, GRINDING, SANDING, ETC. OR YOU CAN LOCK IT INTO POSITION AND
DIAL IN YOUR WORK WITH THE X TABLE.


STEP 12
LOCATE THE Z TOWER ARM, & THE Z TOWER BASE PLATE. LOOSEN THE RED KNOB LOCK
SCREWS, AND THE SET SCREWS IN THE SMALL PLATE. BRING THEM TOGETHER AT THE
APPROXIMATE HEIGHT YOU WANT TO WORK AT. YOU MAY LOCK BOTH SET SCREWS, BUT
ONE IS ENOUGH TO HOLD IT IN PLACE. USE THE WHITE NYLON ADJUSTING SCREW TO
ADJUST YOUR WORKING HEIGHT FOR FINE ADJUSTMENTS WHEN NEEDED. ALSO WHEN THE
SCREW IS DOWN LOW BETWEEN THE RODS, USE A SLOTTED SCREW DRIVER TO ADJUST UP
OR DOWN. BEFORE YOU START WORKING, LOCK BOTH Z TOWER RED KNOB SCREWS
FIRMLY.

Y TABLE INSTRUCTIONS


LOCATE THE Y TABLE IN THE SLOT OF THE X TABLE.
LOCK IN 4 PLACES WITH THE 4-40 BLACK KNOBS


THE Y TABLE WORKS THE SAME AS THE X TABLE, ONLY IN AND OUT, INSTEAD OF SIDE TO
SIDE. YOU CAN DIAL IN PRECISION IN BOTH DIRECTIONS


USE THE VISE CLAMP TO HOLD REGULAR AND IRREGULAR SHAPED PIECES. THE VISE
CLAMPS ARE OPTIONAL, HOWEVER HOLD EVERYTHING VERY SECURE. NOTE: WHEN
TIGHTENING DOWN THUMB SCREWS, BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVER TIGHTEN OR MARK YOUR
WORK PIECE. USE A SMALL PIECE OF WOOD, OR PLASTIC BETWEEN THE SCREW AND THE
WORK. ALL SCREWS ARE 8-32, AND CAN PURCHASED AT YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE STORE.






USING THE X AND Y TABLES

THEY TABLE LIKE THE X TABLE USES SLIP DIALS TO DIAL IN PRECISION WORK. LOOSEN
THE SCREW ON THE NUMBERED DIAL, TURN THE HANDLES TO WHERE YOU WANT TO
START, LOCK THE TABLES. TURN THE DIAL TO 00, AND LOCK THEM WITH THE 4-40
SCREW. THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO RETURN TO EXACTLY WHERE YOU STARTED. EACH
NUMBER IS A GRADUATION OF .005.
ABOUT THE GIBS: THE WHITE NYLON SCREWS LOCATED ON THE X AND Y TABLES ACT AS
GIBS, AND WHEN TURNED A LITTLE TIGHTER, LOCK THE BED IN PLACE. TO USE THE GIBS,
UNLOCK THE TABLE(S). TURN THE WHITE NYLON SCREW SO THAT YOU CAN FEEL THEM
TOUCH THE WAYS, BUT THERE IS NO PLAY. THE GIBS ALLOW YOU TO MILL, SAW, SAND,
ETC. WHILE TURNING THE DIALS WITH NO SLOP.
