Electrical controls.
The main electrical controls are located
on a movable box. Two locations are
provided for the box, one on the
headstock and the other on the tailstock.
The main isolation switch is located on
the headstock.
1/ Main isolation switch.
This switch isolates the machine
electrical system from the incoming
electrical supply. The switch has the
facility to be padlocked [padlock not
provided] in the off position. If you are
conducting maintenance work or require
access to any of the electrical
components of the machine you must
isolate the machine from the electrical
supply by removing the electrical
connector from the machine as well as
padlocking the main isolation switch in
the off position.
2/ Start button.
Pressing the green button starts the lathe motor.
3/ Stop button / emergency stop button.
The red button covers both functions. Once
pressed it must be pulled back out before the
motor can be started.
4/Forward / reverse switch.
The lathe motor can operate in both forward
and reverse. Never operate the switch while
the motor is moving as it could cause
damage to the motor and exerts strain on the
machine. If the locking screw has not been
tightened in the faceplate or other
accessories, it could become detached from
the spindle and cause injury.
5/ Speed selection switch.
Turning the speed selection switch increases
or decreases the speed of the lathe spindle.
6/ Access door safety micro switch.
When the door is opened a micro switch
isolates the electrical system and stops the
motor from operating. If your lathe will not
start check that the door is fully closed and
that the switch if functioning correctly.
