Test Run
After all preparation steps have been completed,
the machine and its safety features must be
tested to ensure correct operation. If you discover
a problem with the operation of the machine or
its safety components, shut the machine down,
disconnect it from power, and do not operate it
again until you have resolved the problem.
Note: The variable speed on this machine
is controlled by a frequency drive unit with
sensitive electronics. These electronics can
be damaged if power is disconnected during
operation. Therefore, unless the stop button and
brake lose functionality, always properly shut
the machine down before, disconnecting it from
the power source.
A Troubleshooting section is provided,
starting on Page 88, to assist you with
solutions if a problem occurs or if the lathe
does not function as described in this section.
If you need additional help after reviewing the
troubleshooting section, or you are not confident
troubleshooting the machine on your own,
contact our tech support at (360) 734-1540.
To test run your machine:
1. Read and follow the safety instructions at
the beginning of the manual, take required
safety precautions, and complete all previous
preparation steps including verifying that all
oil levels are correct.
2. Clear away all tools and objects used during
assembly, lubrication, and preparation.
3. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
4. Make sure that the chuck and jaws, if
installed, are secure (refer to Chuck and
Faceplate Mounting on Page 35).
Note: If a chuck is not installed on the lathe, you
do not need to install one for this test.
5. Push the stop button in, turn the spindle
speed dial to the minimum, and turn the
cutting fluid pump switch (Figure 17) to the
OFF position, and point the nozzle into the
chip pan.
