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, stop the motor, disconnect
the machine from power, and do not operate it
further until you have resolved the problem.
A Troubleshooting section is provided, starting
on Page 57, 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
(see Figure 14) on the front of the machine
is turned OFF.
2. Read and follow the safety instructions
at the beginning of the manual, take all
required safety precautions, and make sure
all previous preparation steps discussed
in this manual have been followed and
completed.
