For Machines Mfg. Since 3/11

EVS Toolroom Lathe w/DRO

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, shut the machine down, 
disconnect it from power, and do not operate it 
further until you have resolved the problem.

A Troubleshooting section is provided, starting 
on Page 88, 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.

  Make sure the master power switch on the 

rear of the machine is turned OFF (see 
Figure 23).

  Clear away all tools and objects used during 

assembly, lubrication, and preparation.

  Make sure that the chuck and jaws, if 

installed, are secure (refer to Chuck and 
Faceplate Mounting on Page 37).

 If a chuck is not installed on the lathe, you 

do not need to install one for this test.

  Push the STOP button on the control panel 

(see Figure 24), then rotate the spindle 
speed dial all the way to the left to set the 
spindle speed at the lowest setting.

  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.

  Turn the coolant pump switch to the OFF 

position, and point the coolant nozzle into 
the chip pan.
