SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
Operation Overview
To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
1. Puts on safety glasses, rolls up sleeves,
removes jewelry, and secures any clothing,
jewelry, or hair that could get entangled in
moving parts.
2. Examines the workpiece to make sure it is
suitable for turning, then securely mounts it
in the lathe.
3. Installs the tooling, aligns it with the workpiece,
then backs it away to establish a safe startup
clearance.
4. Removes all setup tools from the lathe.
5. Checks for safe clearances by rotating the
workpiece by hand at least one full revolu-
tion.
6. Moves slides to where they will be used dur-
ing operation.
7. Sets the correct spindle speed for the opera-
tion.
8. If using power feed, selects the proper feed
rate for the operation.
9. Turns the main power switch ON and resets
the EMERGENCY STOP button.
10. Uses the spindle lever to start spindle rota-
tion.
11. Uses the carriage handwheels or power feed
options to move the tooling into the workpiece
for operations.
12. When finished cutting, moves the spindle
lever to the OFF position, presses the foot
brake to completely stop the spindle, then
removes the workpiece.
The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov-
ice machine operator with a basic understanding
of how the machine is used during operation, so
the
machine controls/components
discussed later
in this manual
are easier to understand.
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is
not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn
more about specific operations, read this entire
manual and
seek additional training from expe
-
rienced
machine operators, and do additional
research outside of this manual by reading "how-
to" books, trade magazines, or websites.
If you are not experienced with this type
of machine, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND
that you seek additional training outside of
this manual. Read books/magazines or get
formal training before beginning any proj-
ects. Regardless of the content in this sec-
tion, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable
for accidents caused by lack of training.
To reduce your risk of
serious injury, read this
entire manual BEFORE
