Test Run
OPERATIONS
The purpose of a test run is to identify any unusual noises and vibrations, as well as to confirm that the machine is performing as intended.
To test run the Model W1704, do these steps:
1.Turn the variable speed control knob all the way
2.Make sure that the spur center has been removed from the spindle.
3.Pull the paddle switch up to start the lathe. Once the lathe is running, listen for any unusual noises. The machine should run smoothly with little or no vibrations.
•If there are any unusual noises or vibra- tions, STOP the lathe immediately by pushing the paddle switch down.
4.Unplug the lathe and investigate the source of the noise or vibration. DO NOT make any adjustments to the lathe while it is plugged in. The lathe should not be run any further until the problems are corrected.
Projectiles thrown from the machine could cause serious eye/face injury. Wear a face shield during assembly and operation.
Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury. Keep loose clothing rolled up and long hair tied up and away from machinery.
