Test Run | Notes |
Now that the lathe is securely in place and you’ve read the safety guidelines, it’s time to give the machine a test run.
Before starting the machine, make sure the machine is properly grounded and the Power and Directional Switch is in the ''OFF'' position.

Inspect the machine to ensure that all hand tools are out of the way, guards are in place and noth- ing is impeding the movement of the chuck.
Set the switch to position 2. The chuck should be turning in a counterclockwise direction. If the direction is reversed, contact our service depart- ment for further instruction. If the lathe is running correctly, take some time to become familiar with the various controls on the Model G4000. The controls will be reviewed by location on the machine, in Section 5.
