Operation Overview

The purpose of this overview is to provide the novice machine operator with a basic understanding of how the machine is used during operation, so they can more easily understand the controls discussed later in this manual.

Note: Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is not intended to be an instructional guide for performing actual machine operations.

To learn more about specific operations and machining techniques, seek training from people experienced with this type of machine, and do additional research outside of this manual by reading "how-to" books, trade magazines, or websites.

To reduce the risk of serious injury when using this machine, read and understand this entire manual before beginning any operations.

Loose hair, clothing, or

jewelry could get caught

in machinery and cause

serious injury or death.

Keep these items away from moving parts at all times to reduce this risk.

During operation, small metal chips may become airborne, leading to serious eye injury. Wear safety glasses to reduce this risk.

To complete a typical operation, the operator does the following:

1.Puts on safety glasses, rolls up sleeves, removes jewelry, and secures any clothing, jewelry, or hair that could get entangled in moving parts.

2.Examines the workpiece to make sure it is suitable for turning, then mounts the workpiece in one of the chucks or on the faceplate, and removes the chuck key from the chuck.

3.Mounts the tooling, aligns it with the workpiece, then backs it away to establish a safe startup clearance.

4.Clears all setup tools from the lathe.

5.Checks for safe clearances by rotating the workpiece by hand at least one full revolution.

6.Moves slides to where they will be used during operation.

7.Sets the correct spindle speed for the operation.

8.If using power feed, selects the proper feed rate for the operation.

9.Turns the master power switch ON, resets the STOP button, then uses the spindle ON/ OFF lever to start spindle rotation.

10.Uses the carriage handwheels or power feed options to move the tooling into the workpiece for operations.

11.When finished cutting, moves the spindle ON/OFF lever to the OFF position, presses the foot brake to completely stop the spindle, then removes the workpiece.
