Controls and Components
Main Control Panel
The control panel allows the operator to adjust the spindle speed and direction:
Stop Button: Stop the motor.
Start Button: Start the motor.
Spindle Speed Dial: Set spindle speed. For safety, always start the lathe with the lowest speed. Set the
speed to the lowest before stopping the lathe.
Spindle Speed Readout: A digital readout that shows the spindle speed.
Spindle Direction Switch: Set the spindle rotation direction. Use forward (FOR) for inboard turning and
reverse (REV) for outboard turning.
Make sure any accessory threaded on the spindle is secured to the spindle when
running the spindle in reverse direction. Failure to do so can result in the
accessory to dislodge from the spindle and cause serious injuries or death.
Ready light: When the green ready light is on, the lathe is ready to run.
Alarm light: When a power outage occurs while the lathe is running,
the motor will not start when power resumes. Instead, the red alarm
light turns on. To restart the motor after a power failure, press the stop
button to reset the alarm, then press the start button to start the
motor.
Overload Protection: This lathe is equipped with an overload protection mechanism. If the lathe is
overloaded and stops running, press the stop button on the control panel to clear the alarm. Identify the
problem and wait five minutes for the motor and components to cool down before resuming the work.
