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 or
hair that could get entangled in moving parts.
2. Examines workpiece to make sure it is suit-
able for turning, then securely mounts it in
lathe.
3. Installs tooling, aligns it with workpiece, then
backs it away to establish a safe startup
clearance.
4. Removes all setup tools from lathe.
5. Checks for safe clearances by rotating
workpiece by hand at least one full revolution.
6. Moves slides to where they will be used dur-
ing operation.
7. If using power feed, selects appropriate feed
rate and direction.
8. Resets Emergency Stop button and turns
spindle direction switch to "F".
9. Rotates variable speed dial to set correct
spindle speed.
10. Uses carriage handwheels or power feed
options to move the tooling into workpiece for
operations.
11. When finished turning, rotates variable speed
dial to "0" to stop spindle, presses Emergency
Stop button, then removes 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
using machine.
To reduce the risk of
