Operation Overview

The purpose of this overview is to provide the novice machine operator with a basic understanding of how the machine is used during operation, so they can more easily understand the controls discussed later in this manual.

Note: Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is not intended to be an instructional guide for performing actual machine operations.

To learn more about specific operations and machining techniques, seek training from people experienced with this type of machine, and do additional research outside of this manual by reading "how-to" books, trade magazines, or websites.

To reduce the risk of serious injury when using this machine, read and understand this entire manual before beginning any operations.

Loose hair, clothing, or jewelry could get caught in machinery and cause serious injury or death. Keep these items away from moving parts at all times to reduce this risk.

During operation, small metal chips may become airborne, leading to serious eye injury. Wear safety glasses to reduce this risk.

To complete a typical operation, the operator does the following:

1.Puts on safety glasses, rolls up sleeves, removes jewelry, and secures any clothing, jewelry, or hair that could get entangled in moving parts.

2.Examines the workpiece to make sure it is suitable for turning, mounts the workpiece in the chuck, and removes the chuck key from the machine.

3.Mounts the tooling, aligns it with the workpiece, then backs it away to establish a safe startup clearance.

4.Removes all setup tools from the lathe.

5.Checks for safe clearances by rotating the workpiece by hand at least one full revolution.

6.Uses the master power switch to enable power to the motor, then rotates the spindle switch to the forward (left) position to start spindle rotation.

7.Rotates the spindle speed dial to select the correct spindle speed for the operation.

8.Uses the handwheel/ball handles or power feed options to move the tooling into the workpiece.

9.When finished cutting, moves the spindle switch to the OFF (middle) position, waits until the spindle is completely stopped, then removes the workpiece.
