13. Fundamentals on working with the machine
Caution!
Before switching on the machine for the first time, make sure the screws of the lathe
chuck are properly tightened, that the key for the lathe chuck is not inserted and that
there is sufficient clearance between the support and the lathe chuck.
Caution!
Practice first without a clamped work piece and with the machine turned off. This will
decrease the risk of injuries or damage.
Caution!
Please note that due to the construction type, the motor can become very hot if left in
idle operation for a longer period. This is not an indication for a motor defect; still, it is
recommended to avoid this operating state and not to leave the machine unnecessarily
in idle operation.
