To test run the machine:

1.Make sure you understand the safety instruc- tions at the beginning of the manual and that the machine is set up properly.

2.If a chuck or faceplate is mounted on the spindle, make sure that it is firmly secured and will not come loose during operation (see Pages 24 & 29 for detailed instructions).

3.Make sure all tools and objects used during setup are cleared away from the machine.

4.Make sure the headstock, gearbox, and apron oil reservoirs are filled with oil (refer to the Lubrication section on Page 52 for detailed instructions).

5.Fill the coolant reservoir with coolant (refer to Coolant System on Page 54 for detailed instructions).

6.To keep the carriage components from mov- ing during the remaining steps, set the car- riage controls as follows (see Figure 13):

—Move the feed lever to the center (disen- gaged) position.

—Move the half-nut lever up to disengage it.

Note: If necessary, refer to Basic Controls beginning on Page 21 for additional informa- tion for using the carriage controls and con- trol panel switches.
