In addition to the gearboxes, we also recommend that you lubricate all other points on the machine at this time. This can be accomplished by following the maintenance schedule on Page 54.
Note: If your lathe was shipped with oil in the gearboxes, do not change that oil until after the
Adding Cutting Fluid
Add the cutting fluid of your choice now. For detailed instructions on where the cutting fluid tank is located and how to add fluid, refer to Cutting Fluid System on Page 62.
This machine is equipped with a frequency drive that contains sensitive electronics, which can be damaged by a phase converter. DO NOT use a phase converter to power this machine. Doing so will void the warranty.

Power Connection
Electrocution or fire may occur if machine is ungrounded, incorrectly connected to power, or connected to an undersized circuit. Use a qualified electrician to ensure a safe power connection.
Once all preparation steps previously described in this manual have been completed, the machine can be connected to the power source. In order to be connected to the power source, a circuit must be installed/prepared that meets the requirements of the lathe, and a power connection method must be established for that circuit. The following lists show the minimum requirements for each model, and instructions follow for each connection method.
Note About Power Cords: Using an incorrectly sized cord causes electrical components on
the machine and the cord to become very hot, which will greatly decrease the life of electrical components or result in fire. For best results, use the shortest length of cord possible for your machine, and never use a smaller cord gauge than the specified minimum.
