. WITHOUT resetting EMERGENCY STOP
button, try to start machine by pressing ON
button. Machine should not start.
— If machine does not start, safety feature
of EMERGENCY STOP button is working
correctly. Congratulations! Test run is
complete. Continue to the next section
to perform the Spindle Break-In and
Inspections & Adjustments procedures.
— If machine does start, immediately turn it
OFF and disconnect power. Safety feature
of EMERGENCY STOP button is NOT
working correctly and must be replaced
before further using machine. Contact
Technical Support.
1.
Turn spindle rotation switch clockwise to
forward
rotation (see Figure 23).
2.
Start spindle rotation and adjust speed
dial so RPM digital readout (see Figure
23) reads 50 RPM.
Spindle Break-In
You must complete this procedure to maintain
the warranty. Failure to do this could cause
rapid wear-and-tear of spindle bearings once
they are placed under load.
The spindle break-in procedure distributes
lubrication throughout the bearings to reduce the
risk of early bearing failure if there are any "dry"
spots or areas where lubrication has settled in
the bearings. You must complete this procedure
before placing operational loads on the spindle
for the first time when the machine is new or if it
has been sitting idle for longer than 6 months.
Always start the spindle break-in at the lowest
speed to minimize wear if there are dry spots.
Allow the spindle to run long enough to warm
up and distribute the bearing grease, then
incrementally increase spindle speeds and repeat
this process at each speed until reaching the
maximum spindle speed. Following the break-
in procedure in this progressive manner helps
minimize any potential wear that could occur
before lubrication is fully distributed.
