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 further until you have resolved the problem.

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) 734-1540.

To test run your machine:

1.Make sure the master power switch on the rear of the machine is turned OFF (see Figure 23).
