SETUP

Test Run

Once the assembly is complete, test run your machine to make sure it runs properly and is ready for regular opera- tion.

The test run consists of verifying the following: 1) The motor powers up and runs correctly, and 2) the switch disabling mechanism works correctly.

If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine immediately, then review Troubleshooting on Page 30.

If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our Tech Support at (360) 734-3482 for assistance.

To test run the machine, do these steps:

1.Make sure you understand the safety instructions at the beginning of the manual and that the machine is setup properly.

2.Make sure all tools and objects used during setup are cleared away from the machine.

3.Connect the machine to the power source.

4.Turn the lathe ON by lifting up on the ON/OFF switch, and verify that it operates correctly.

When operating correctly, the machine runs smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing noises.

Investigate and correct strange or unusual noises or vibrations before operating the machine fur- ther. Always disconnect the machine from power when investigating or correcting potential prob- lems.

5.Turn the machine OFF by pushing down on the ON/ OFF switch.

6.Remove the switch disabling key (see Figure 12).

7.Try to start the machine with the switch.

If the machine does not start, the switch disabling feature is working as designed.

If the machine starts, immediately stop the machine. The switch disabling feature is not work- ing correctly. Call Tech Support for help.
