PREPARATION
Besides adding oil to the reservoirs, we also
recommend that you lubricate other points on
the lathe at this time. This can be accomplished
by following the Lubrication section beginning
on Page 64.
Note: If this lathe was shipped with oil in the
reservoirs, you can wait until after the test run
and spindle break-in procedures to change the
oil.
Adding Coolant
Add the coolant of your choice now. For detailed
instructions on where the coolant tank is located
and how to add fluid, refer to Coolant System
Service on Page 71.
Power Connection
Once your machine is set up and assembled as
previously described in this manual, it is ready to
be connected to the power source.
To connect power cord to the lathe:
1. MAKE SURE POWER CORD IS NOT YET
CONNECTED TO POWER!
2. Make sure the master power switch is
turned to the OFF position, then open the
electrical cabinet door.
3. Thread the power cord through the strain
relief and up to the master power switch
shown in Figure 19.
Electrocution or fire
may occur if machine is
ungrounded, incorrectly
connected to power, or
connected to an undersized
circuit. Use an electrician or
a qualified service personnel
to ensure a safe power
connection.
