5.Turn the speed dial counterclockwise to set the spindle speed at zero.
6.Connect the lathe to power.
7.Verify that the machine is operating cor- rectly by pushing the ON button, then use the speed dial to increase the spindle speed.
—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 further. Always stop the machine and disconnect it from power before inves- tigating or correcting potential problems.
8.Press the STOP button to stop the machine.
9.WITHOUT resetting the switch, press the ON button. The machine should not start.
—If the machine does not start, the STOP button safety feature is working correctly.
—If the machine does start (with the STOP button pushed in), immediately disconnect power to the machine. The STOP button safety feature is not working correctly. This safety feature must work properly before proceeding with regular operations. Call Tech Support for help.
10.Verify that the power is not connected out of phase by starting/stopping the machine in the FWD direction and determining if the spindle turns in the counterclockwise direction (look- ing at the spindle from the tailstock side of the lathe).
—If the spindle does NOT turn counter- clockwise, it is turning in the wrong direc- tion. Stop the machine, disconnect it from power, then swap any two of the three power wires inside the motor wiring junc- tion box (refer to the Wiring Diagram on Page 48 for specific information).
