Test Run
After all preparation steps have been completed, the machine and its safety features must be tested to ensure correct operation. If you discover a problem with the operation of the machine or its safety components, shut the machine down, disconnect it from power, and do not operate it again until you have resolved the problem.
Note: The variable speed on this machine is controlled by a frequency drive unit with sensitive electronics. These electronics can be damaged if power is disconnected during operation. Therefore, unless the stop button and brake lose functionality, always properly shut the machine down before, disconnecting it from the power source.
A Troubleshooting section is provided, starting on Page 88, to assist you with solutions if a problem occurs or if the lathe does not function as described in this section. If you need additional help after reviewing the troubleshooting section, or you are not confident troubleshooting the machine on your own, contact our tech support at (360)
To test run your machine:
1.Read and follow the safety instructions at the beginning of the manual, take required safety precautions, and complete all previous preparation steps including verifying that all oil levels are correct.
2.Clear away all tools and objects used during assembly, lubrication, and preparation.
3.DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
4.Make sure that the chuck and jaws, if installed, are secure (refer to Chuck and Faceplate Mounting on Page 35).
Note: If a chuck is not installed on the lathe, you do not need to install one for this test.
5.Push the stop button in, turn the spindle speed dial to the minimum, and turn the cutting fluid pump switch (Figure 17) to the OFF position, and point the nozzle into the chip pan.
