Note: To shift and get levers to completely
engage, you may need to use the jog button,
to move the gearbox range lever into neutral
and then rotate the spindle by hand.

NOTICE
If the headstock is in high range (400-2500
RPM), and if the spindle speed dial is turned
completely to the left, the tachometer may
show a speed lower than the 400 RPM list-
ed on the headstock label.
This headstock range label indicates the
allowable spindle speed for cutting opera-
tions while in a range. If in high range, do
not turn or face any workpiece with a spin-
dle speed lower than 400 RPM. If you must,
then shift the headstock into low range to
reach spindle RPMs lower than 400; other-
wise, you may stall the motor.
Before starting the lathe, make sure that
you turn the CSS function switch to OFF,
turn the spindle speed dial to the minimum,
and make sure the cross slide is backed
out.
If the lathe is started with the CSS switch
ON, and the cross slide is positioned all
the way inward, the spindle will immedi-
ately wind-up to the highest spindle RPM
of the range that it is in. As a result, if the
workpiece is long, heavy, or off-centered it
could be thrown at a high velocity causing
severe injury or death.
