Do not leave the lathe unattended during the break-in period. Should any problem arise, you must be able to immediately shut down the lathe to avoid damage. Curious bystanders can also be entangled with a lathe chuck if the machine is left running and unattended. Entanglement can lead to immediate amputation or death.

After the first 16 hours of use, the V-belts will stretch and seat into the pulley grooves. The V-belts must be properly re-tensioned after this period to avoid reducing their useful life. Refer to the V-Belts section on Page 81 for detailed instructions.
