INFORMATION
Move the hand wheel of the lathe saddle a little in order to facilitate the locking of the engaging
lever.

Tool holder
Clamp the lathe tool into the tool holder.
The lathe tool needs to be clamped as short and
tight as possible when turning in order to be able
to absorb the cutting force during the chip forma-
tion well and reliably.
Adjust the height of the tool. Use the tailstock with
the centering point in order to determine the re-
quired height. If necessary, put the steel washers
beneath the tool to achieve the required height.

WARNING!
Do not clamp any workpieces that exceed the permitted chucking capacity of the lathe
chuck. The clamping force of the chuck is too low if its capacity is being exceeded. The
clamping jaws may loosen.
Only use lathe chucks designed for the speed of the machine.
Do not use lathe chucks with an external diameter that is too large.
Please ensure that lathe chucks are manufactured to EN 1550 standards.
