Operation Overview
Loose hair, clothing, or 
jewelry could get caught 
in machinery and cause 
serious injury or death. 
Keep these items away 
from moving parts at all 
times to reduce this risk.
During operation, small 
metal chips may become 
airborne, leading to serious 
eye injury. Wear safety 
glasses to reduce this risk.
To complete a typical operation, the operator 
does the following:
1.
  Puts on safety glasses, rolls up sleeves, 
removes jewelry, and secures any clothing, 
jewelry, or hair that could get entangled in 
moving parts.
2.
  Examines the workpiece to make sure it 
is suitable for turning, then mounts the 
workpiece in one of the chucks or on the 
faceplate, and removes the chuck key from 
the chuck.
3.
  Mounts the tooling, aligns it with the 
workpiece, then backs it away to establish a 
safe startup clearance.
4.
  Clears all tools from the lathe.
5. 
Sets the correct spindle speed range for the 
operation, and turns the spindle speed dial 
all the way counterclockwise (to the lowest 
speed) to avoid the possibility of damage 
from a high speed start.
6.
  Checks for safe clearances by rotating 
the workpiece by hand at least one full 
revolution.
7.
 
Moves slides to where they will be used 
during operation.
8.
  If using power feed, selects the proper feed 
rate for the operation.
9.
  Turns the main power switch ON, resets 
the stop button so it pops out, then moves 
the spindle ON/OFF lever down to start 
spindle rotation. The spindle will rotate 
counterclockwise (down and toward the 
operator when facing the front of the lathe).
10.
  Turns the spindle speed dial clockwise to the 
desired RPM.
11.
  Uses the carriage handwheels or power 
feed options to move the tooling into the 
workpiece for operations.
12.
  When finished cutting, moves the ON/OFF 
lever to the center position to turn the lathe 
OFF, then removes the workpiece.
To reduce the risk of 
serious injury when using 
this machine, read and 
understand this entire 
manual before beginning 
any operations.
The purpose of this overview is to provide 
the novice machine operator with a basic 
understanding of how the machine is used during 
operation, so they can more easily understand 
the controls discussed later in this manual.
Note:
 Due to the generic nature of this overview, 
it is not intended to be an instructional guide 
for performing actual machine operations. 
To learn more about specific operations and 
machining techniques, seek training from people 
experienced with this type of machine, and do 
additional research outside of this manual by 
reading "how-to" books, trade magazines, or 
websites.
