Page 21.
2. Set spindle direction switch to "F" (forward),
ensure range lever is in LOW, and operate
lathe for 10 minutes at 100 RPM.
3. Operate lathe at 1000 RPM for 10 minutes,
then turn variable speed dial to "0" to stop
spindle.
4. Shift range control lever to HIGH, then oper-
ate lathe at 2000 RPM for 10 minutes, then

Spindle Break-In
Before subjecting the spindle to operational loads,
it is essential to complete the break-in process.
This helps maximize the life of spindle bearings
and other precision components by thoroughly
lubricating them before placing them under load.
After spindle break-in is complete, we recommend
changing headstock and gearbox oil to remove
any metal particles or debris that are present from
the assembly and break-in process.
The break-in must be performed in succession
with the
Test Run procedure described in this
manual, as the steps in that procedure prepare
the lathe controls for the break-in process.
DO NOT perform this procedure indepen-
dently of the Test Run section. The lathe
could be seriously damaged if the controls
are set differently than instructed in that
section.
