PREPARATION
11. To ensure carriage components do not
unexpectedly move during the following
steps, disengage the half nut lever and feed
selection lever (see Figure 25).
12. Start the lathe by pulling the spindle lever
out (see Figure 25) and moving it down.
— When operating correctly, the lathe runs
smoothly with little or no vibration or
rubbing noises.
— Investigate and correct strange or
unusual noises or vibrations before
operating any further. Always disconnect
power before investigating or correcting
potential problems.
13. Push the STOP button and turn the master
power switch OFF.
14. Press the STOP button to turn the lathe
OFF, then, without resetting the STOP
button, try to restart spindle rotation—the
spindle should not start.
— If spindle rotation does start with the
STOP button pressed in, the STOP button
safety is not operating correctly. This
safety feature must operate properly
before continuing operation. Use the
spindle lever to stop the lathe, disconnect
it from power, and call Tech Support for
help.
15. Move the spindle lever to the OFF (middle)
position, reset the STOP button by twisting
it clockwise until it pops out, then restart
spindle rotation.
16. Push the foot brake. The spindle should
come to a quick stop.
— If the brake pedal has no effect on the
lathe, push the STOP button, and refer
to Brake & Switch on Page 78 to make
any required adjustments.
17. Move the spindle lever to the OFF (middle)
position. Remove the end gear cover from the
left side of the headstock. This activates a
safety switch that should prevent the spindle
from starting while the cover is removed.
18. Stand away from all the exposed gears on
the side of the headstock, and attempt to
start spindle rotation—the spindle should
not start.
— If spindle rotation does start with the end
gear cover removed, the safety switch
is not operating correctly. This safety
feature must operate properly before
continuing operation. Press the STOP
button to turn the lathe OFF, disconnect
it from power, and call Tech Support for
help.
