PREPARATION
Test Run
After all preparation steps have been completed,
the machine and its safety features must be
tested to ensure correct operation. If you discover
a problem with the operation of the machine or
its safety components, shut the machine down,
disconnect it from power, and do not operate it
further until you have resolved the problem.
A Troubleshooting section is provided, starting
on Page 88, to assist you with solutions if a
problem occurs or if the lathe does not function
as described in this section.
If you need additional help after reviewing the
troubleshooting section, or you are not confident
troubleshooting the machine on your own,
contact our Tech Support at (360) 734-1540.
To test run your machine:
1. Make sure the master power switch on the
rear of the machine is turned OFF (see
Figure 24).
3. Clear away all tools and objects used during
assembly, lubrication, and preparation.
4. Make sure that the chuck and jaws, if
installed, are secure (refer to Chuck and
Faceplate Mounting on Page 37).
Note: If a chuck is not installed on the lathe, you
do not need to install one for this test.
5. Push the STOP button on the control panel
(see Figure 25), then rotate the spindle
speed dial all the way to the left to set the
spindle speed at the lowest setting.
