14. When working between centres, always centre well in order to avoid a flying-out of the work-
piece. In addition, check the tightening screw of the tailstock to make sure it is tight.
15. When working with automatic advance take care that the cross table does not touch the chuck
or the tailstock.
16. Never leave the machine when in operation.
17.
When turning wood, use the lathe centre for the slaving of the work piece instead of the
lathe chuck.
18. The machine must be secured so that it cannot be swichted on by children. Make sure that
other people do not come in contact with the machine.
19. The machine must be kept dry at all times.
20. Check the machine frequently for damage. Any damage parts must be replaced with original
parts and should be fitted by an expert or by us.

Description of the machine
To make sure the machine runs properly and in order to have maximum protection from damage it
is necessary for the operator to get to know how the machine works very thoroughly. Please read
the following instructions very carefully before starting up the machine.
8.1 Labelling
On the front of the protective hood you will find tables for the individual feeds and pitches with the
combinations of take-up gears.
The take-up gears for other feeds and pitches are situated in the accompanying gear set for metric
and inch threads.
In chapter 9.3 we have shown graphically the relationship of the cutting speed of the workpiece di-
ameter and the machine speed. Given a certain workpiece diameter and a certain cutting speed
then it is relatively easy to determine the correct speed of the main spindle, e.g. d = 30mm, v = 120
m/min you can conclude that n = 1250 min
