Test Run Mill/Drill
Before continuing to the Operations section, test run the mill/drill to verify that it runs properly.
To test run the mill/drill:
1.Make sure that the factory installed drill chuck is tight, that there is not a chuck key in the chuck, and that the eyeshield is firmly mounted between you and the drill chuck. Make this step a habit that you perform every time you start the lathe.
2.Plug the machine into the power outlet.
3.Familiarize yourself with the mill/drill controls shown in Figures 11 and 12.

4.Rotate the Lathe/Mill selector switch to the “MILLING” position.
5.Move the high/low speed lever to the “L” position for low speed.
6.Unlatch mill/drill emergency stop switch cover—this should make the mill/drill power indicator light up.
7.Rotate the variable speed knob clockwise to turn the mill/drill spindle ON. The farther you rotate the variable speed knob, the faster the mill/drill spindle will rotate.
8.Rotate the variable speed dial clockwise as far as it will go, so the drill chuck is spinning at top speed.
9.Rotate the variable speed dial counterclock- wise as far as it will go. This should stop the drill chuck.
10.Press the mill/drill emergency stop button to turn the mill/drill OFF.
11.Move the high/low speed lever to the “H” position for high speed.
12.Unlatch mill/drill emergency stop switch
13.Rotate the variable speed knob clockwise to turn the mill/drill spindle ON. The farther you rotate the variable speed knob, the faster the mill/drill spindle will rotate.
14.Rotate the variable speed dial clockwise as far as it will go, so the drill chuck is spinning at top speed.
15.Rotate the variable speed dial counterclock- wise as far as it will go. This should stop the drill chuck.
16.Press the mill/drill emergency stop button to turn the mill/drill OFF.
