NOTICE

Failure to follow the break-in proce-

dures included in this manual may lead

to shortened tool life and may void war-

ranty.

Complete this process once you have familiarized yourself

with all instructions in this manual and you have made

sure the machine is completely lubricated as described

in

Lubrication on Page 22. It is essential to closely fol-

low the proper break-in procedures to ensure trouble free

performance.

To begin the test run and spindle break-in procedure,

do these steps:

1. Make sure there are no obstructions around or

underneath the spindle.

2. Put on safety glasses, and make sure any bystanders

are wearing safety glasses and are out of the way.

3. Plug the machine in and turn the ON/OFF switch

ON, then set the mill to the slowest RPM. See Page

18 for adjusting RPM. The mill should run smoothly,

with little or no vibration or rubbing noises.

• If you hear squealing or grinding noises,

turn the

machine

OFF immediately. Wait for the mill to

stop moving, unplug the machine, and correct any

problems before further operation.

• If the source of an unusual noise or vibration is not

readily apparent, contact our technical support

for help at (360) 734-3482 or contact us online at

[email protected].

4. If the mill runs smoothly, allow it to run for 10 min-

utes at slow speed.

5. Slowly increase the RPM and allow it to run at a

medium RPM for another ten minutes.

6. Slowly increase the RPM and allow it to run at a high

RPM for another ten minutes.
