PREPARATION
22. Replace the headstock side cover, then start
the lathe again.
Note: The lathe will not start if the headstock
side cover is not properly installed.
23. Turn the cutting fluid pump ON, and open
the valve. Verify that fluid flows from the
nozzle, then turn the cutting fluid pump
OFF.
The test run is now finished. Shut the lathe down
and begin the Spindle Break-In procedure.
18. Move the spindle ON/OFF lever up to the
OFF position, reset the stop button by
twisting it clockwise until it pops out, then
restart the spindle with the lever.
19. Push the foot brake. The lathe should come
to a quick stop.
— If the brake pedal has no effect on the
lathe, push the stop button, and refer to
V-Belts and Brake & Switch on Page
69 to make any required adjustments.
20. Remove the lathe headstock side cover. The
kill switch mounted to the headstock should
prevent the lathe from starting while this
cover is removed.
21. Stand away from all the exposed gears on
the side of the headstock, and attempt to
start the lathe.
— If the lathe starts, the safety switch is not
functioning properly and may need to be
replaced before the machine can be safely
operated.
