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.
