SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
Operation Overview
The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov- ice machine operator with a basic understanding of how the machine is used during operation, so the machine controls/components discussed later in this manual are easier to understand.
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn more about specific operations, read this entire manual and seek additional training from expe- rienced machine operators, 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 operating.
Damage to your eyes and lungs could result from using this machine without proper pro- tective gear. Always wear safety glasses and a respirator when operating this machine.

To complete a typical operation, the operator does the following:
1.Loosens the vertical travel locks, then adjusts the headstock height above the table to ensure there is sufficient room to install the tooling in the spindle and the workpiece on the table.
2.Installs the desired tooling for the job.
3.Positions the workpiece as needed for the operation, then clamps the workpiece using applicable clamping devices, or a vise that is already mounted on the table to ensure the workpiece does not move during the milling/ drilling operation.
4.Positions the cutter or drill bit near the workpiece, then tightens vertical travel locks.
5.Selects the appropriate spindle speed for the milling or drilling operation using the speed selector knob and variable spindle speed knob.
6.Unlocks the X- and
7.Wears safety glasses or a face shield.
8.Turns the spindle direction selection knob to the desired direction.
9.Loosens the quill lock lever and uses the quill feed lever or the fine feed knob to set the cut- ting tool height according to the workpiece.
10.For milling operations, uses the table handwheels to move the table so the cutter removes material evenly from the workpiece.
For drilling operations, uses the quill feed lever or fine feed knob to lower the drill bit into the workpiece, then raises the drill bit out of the workpiece using the same controls.
11.Turns the spindle direction knob to the "0" position to stop the spindle.
