Basics
Remove the transport lock before operating Origin,
and retain for future use. Reinstall the transport
lock to keep the spindle stationary during transit.
To enable unobstructed access to change the
router bit, the SM1 Spindle must be removed from
Origin. IMPORTANT: Always unplug the SM1 Spindle
from Origin before removing the spindle from the
spindle mount. Use the included 4mm T-handle
hex wrench to loosen the spindle mount bolt.
Once loosened, lift the spindle to remove it.
