test run & break-in
the purpose of the test run is to make sure the
lathe and its safety features operate correctly. if
you encounter any problems, stop the lathe and
refer to
troubleshooting on page 43 for correc-
tions.
to begin the test run & break-in procedure:
1. Make sure the lathe is lubricated and the
headstock oil level is full. refer to lubrication
on page 41.
2. Make sure the chuck is correctly secured to
the spindle. refer to mounting chuck and
faceplate on page 35 for details.
3. disengage the feed and half-nut levers, and
move the spindle on/oFF lever to the neutral
position, as shown in
figure 9.
NOTICE
never shift lathe gears when lathe is
operating, and make sure both the half-nut
lever and the feed lever are disengaged
before you start the lathe! otherwise the
lathe will feed the apron into the chuck or
tailstock, causing severe lathe damage.
