TEST RUN
Now that the lathe is securely in place and you’ve read the safety guidelines, it’s time to give the machine
a test run.
Before starting the machine:
1.
Make sure the machine is properly grounded, the power switch is in the “OFF” position and the
reversing switch is selected for forward.
2.
Inspect the machine to ensure that all hand tools are out of the way, guards are in place and nothing is
impeding the movement of the chuck. Check this by rotating the chuck by hand.
3.
Rotate the System
Reset Button
and allow it to pop out. Push the start button on the control panel while
keeping a finger poised over the stop button. The machine should run smoothly with little or no vibration
or rubbing noises when it starts. Strange or unnatural noises should be investigated and corrected before
operating the machine further.
If the direction is reversed, contact our service department for further instructions.
4.
I the lathe/mill is running correctly, push the stop button, wait for the machine to come to a complete
stop and take some time to review the various controls.
