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

solutions if a problem occurs or if the lathe
does not function as described in this section.
