M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill

Test Run and Break-In

The purpose of the test run is to make sure the lathe/ mill and safety features operate correctly before pro- ceeding with additional setup.

To begin the test run procedure, do these steps:

1.Make sure the lathe/mill is lubricated and headstock oil level is full. Refer to Page 34 if required.

2.Make sure the chuck is bolted to the spindle.

3.Move the spindle speed lever to the 75 RPM posi- tion, the range lever to the red-dot position, and the lead screw lever to the neutral position as shown in Figure 12.

4.Rotate the red emergency stop button (Figure 12) clockwise so it pops to the outward position.

5.Move the half-nut lever upward to disengage the apron, and move the feed lever to the neutral or central position (see Figure 13).

6.Move the spindle rotation ON/OFF lever to its cen- tral position (OFF) as shown in Figure 13, and con- nect the lathe to power so the green lamp is lit.

7.Move the Spindle Rotation ON/OFF lever up or down so the chuck turns, then push the emergency stop button to make sure the lathe stops.

8.Move the Spindle Rotation ON/OFF lever to neutral, reset the red emergency stop button, and use the spindle lever to start the lathe again.

If you hear squealing or grinding noises, turn the machine OFF immediately and correct any prob- lem before further operation.

If the problem is not readily apparent, refer to

Troubleshooting on Page 42.

9.Let the lathe/mill run for a minimum of 10 minutes.

10.Turn the lathe/mill OFF, move levers to the next highest RPM and repeat this step for each RPM set- ting in Low and High range. NEVER SHIFT LATHE/MILL GEARS WHEN MACHINE IS OPERATING.

11.Change the lubricant in the headstock with Mobil DTE® Oil or with an equivalent.
