Initial Lubrication

The machine was lubricated at the factory, but we strongly recommend that you inspect all lubrication points yourself and provide additional lubrication if necessary. Refer to Lubrication on Page 43 for specific details.

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 the machine is set up and assembled as previously described in this manual, it is ready to be connected to the power source.

Note About Required Power Source: The milling machine is equipped with a Yaskawa phase inverter that changes single-phase power into 3-phase which is used by the spindle motor.

Note About Extension Cords: Using an incorrectly sized extension cord may decrease the life of electrical components on the machine.
