OPERATION
OPERATING CONTROLS (FIG. P)
1. Digital speed display - shows the current speed (RPM) of the spindle.
2. Protection Indicator - if the machine turns off and the protection indicator light begins to blink, it means that
the motor was protected from overload. The workpiece may be too big or heavy for the current speed of the
lathe. To reset it:
- Turn off the main switch.
- Wait two seconds and then turn it back on.
- Work carefully and reduce the depth of the cut.
- Start the machine in the lowest speed and increase it slowly.
3. Speed Dial - rotate the dial to set the lathe to the desired speed.
4. Main Switch - turn the lathe off and on. Remove the yellow tab to prevent the machine from operating.
5. Directional Switch - change the rotational direction of the spindle.
6. Circuit Breaker - if the circuit breaker is triggered, turn off the machine and then press this reset button. If the
machine does not turn back on, repairs should be carried out by a qualified service technician.
WARNING: Always disengage the spindle lock before starting the lathe. Do not start the lathe at maximum
speed. Start at the lowest speed and gradually increase to the desired RPM.
