For Machines Mfg. Since 3/11

16-Speed Gearhead Lathe

  Connect the lathe to the power source, then 

turn the master power switch to the ON 
position (see Figure 34).

  To reset the STOP button and enable power 

to the lathe electrical controls, twist the 
STOP button clockwise until it pops out. 
The power light on the control panel should 
illuminate (see Figure 29 on Page 28).

  Verify that the machine is operating 

correctly by moving the spindle ON/OFF 
lever out and down to start spindle rotation 
(see Figure 35).

— When operating correctly, the machine 

runs smoothly with little or no vibration 
or rubbing noises.

— Investigate and correct strange or 

unusual noises or vibrations before 
operating the machine further. Always 
disconnect the machine from power when 
investigating or correcting potential 
problems.

  With the spindle ON/OFF lever in the down 

position, verify that the spindle/chuck is 
rotating counterclockwise (down and toward 
the front of the lathe).

— If the spindle/chuck are not rotating 

counterclockwise, the power supply is 
likely connected out-of-phase. Stop the 
machine, disconnect it from power, then 
follow the instructions for Correcting 
Phase Polarity Wiring on Page 90.

 

After correcting the wiring, repeat 
Steps 11–15.

  Press the STOP button to turn the lathe 

OFF, then, without resetting the STOP 
button, try to restart the lathe with the 
spindle ON/OFF lever.

— If the lathe does not start with the STOP 

button pressed in, the STOP button safety 
feature is working properly.

— If the lathe does start with the STOP 

button pressed in, the STOP button safety 
is not operating correctly. This safety 
feature must operate properly before 
continuing. Use the spindle ON/OFF 
lever to stop the lathe, disconnect it from 
power, and call Tech Support for help.
