Lifting
The approximate weights
of
the machine are:-
500mm Model
{500
mm/20")
between centres -
400
kg
(880
lbs)
750mm Model
(750
mm/30")
between centres -
460
kg (1010 lbs)
The
machine should
be
lifted
using a rope sling looped under both ends
of
the swarf tray.
Cleaning
Bright surfaces
are
coated
with
an
anti-corrosive compound
at
despatch and this must
be
completely removed using White
Spirit
or
Paraffin (Kerosene) before operating the controls
or
moving the slides. DO
NOT
USE CELLULOSE SOLVENTS.
Oil
the
bright surfaces and
slideways
AFTER
CLEANING.
(see
Lubrication diagram).
Positioning
Locate
the
machine on a solid foundation allowing sufficient
area
for
operation and mainten-
ance
access.
(SEE
GENERAL
ARRANGEMENT
AND
FOUNDATION
PLAN).
The
lathe may
be
used
when free standing,
but
for
maximum performance
it
should
be
bolted
down.
( 1)
Free
standing. Position
the
machine on its foundation and adjust
each
of
the
four
levelling screws
to
take
an
equal
share
of
the weight. Then using
an
engineer's
precision level on the bedways make further adjustments
for
level conditions.
(2) Fixed installation. Position the machine over
four
12
mm
(1/2")
diameter foundation
bolts, set
to
suit
the
base.
(SEE
GENERAL
ARRANGEMENT
AND
FOUNDATION
PLAN).
Accurately level the machine
as
in
( 1), then tighten the foundation bolts evenly
to
avoid
distortion
and
finally
re-check
for
level conditions.
Electrical Supply
Power should be supplied through
an
external fused isolator - recommended
fuses
being
15
amp
for
220
volts supply and 10 amp
for
380
to
440
volts supply. External wiring should
be
of
a permanent character and
be
undertaken
by
a competent electrician.
SEE
GENERAL
ARRANGEMENT
AND
FOUNDATION
DRAWING FOR CABLE
ENTRY.
Line connections and a substantial earth
continuity
conductor should be connected
to
the
terminal
block
(SEE
ELECTRICAL
WIRING
DIAGRAM).
If
main spindle
rotation
does
not
coincide
with
that
indicated
by
forward/reverse switch
at
control
station, interchange
two
line connections.
