Cleaning Electrical Box
The electrical box has two cooling fans (Figure
134) for the electrical box. The lower fan draws
in cool air and the upper fan exhausts warm
air. Frequently verify that the cooling fans work
and the blades are free of debris and dust that
can cause the fans to run out of balance. An
overheated electrical box could result in damage
to the electrical components inside of the box.
To clean the fans and electrical box:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Put on a dust mask and safety goggles.
3. Open the electrical box door.
4. Holding an air gun nozzle 24" away from the
electrical components, blow dust off of the
components and out of the box.
5. Close electrical box door and verify fan
operation.
