THESE ARE THE MAIN POINTS TO WATCH OUT FOR!
But read the following pages for more information
• Handling the lathe is at least a two-man job.
• Lifting gear – sling, hoist or forklift – must be rated for at least 1/2 ton.
•
Care must taken when lifting to avoid flexing or other damage to any component of the
lathe, especially the leadscrew and hex-section feed shaft.
• Working location of the lathe must allow space for opening drive system cover at left;
also, access to the electrical box at the back of the headstock.
• Power requirement is 110V, 60Hz, single phase.
• Extension cord not recommended; if no alternative, use 12 AWG not longer than 20 ft.
• Before connecting power be sure that:
1.
The machine is on a firm footing.
2. Chuck attachment bolts are tight, no wrench left in chuck.
3. Saddle and cross-slide approx. mid-travel, power feed disengaged (Figure 1-2).
4. The speed control knob is set for a low or zero spindle speed, fully counter clockwise.
Check oil level in the gearbox and apron before use
