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, stop the motor, disconnect the machine from power, and do not operate it further until you have resolved the problem.

A Troubleshooting section is provided, starting on Page 57, to assist you with solutions if a problem occurs or if the lathe does not function as described in this section.

If you need additional help after reviewing the troubleshooting section, or you are not confident troubleshooting the machine on your own, contact our Tech Support at (360) 734-1540.
