EVS Toolroom Lathes

  Replace the headstock side cover, then start 

the lathe again.

 The lathe will not start if the headstock 

side cover is not properly installed.

  Turn the cutting fluid pump ON, and open 

the valve. Verify that fluid flows from the 
nozzle, then turn the cutting fluid pump 
OFF.

The test run is now finished. Shut the lathe down 
and begin the Spindle Break-In procedure.

  Move the spindle ON/OFF lever up to the 

OFF position, reset the stop button by 
twisting it clockwise until it pops out, then 
restart the spindle with the lever.

  Push the foot brake. The lathe should come 

to a quick stop.

— If the brake pedal has no effect on the 

lathe, push the stop button, and refer to 
V-Belts and Brake & Switch on Page 
69 to make any required adjustments.

  Remove the lathe headstock side cover. The 

kill switch mounted to the headstock should 
prevent the lathe from starting while this 
cover is removed.

  Stand away from all the exposed gears on 

the side of the headstock, and attempt to 
start the lathe.

— If the lathe starts, the safety switch is not 

functioning properly and may need to be 
replaced before the machine can be safely 
operated.
