Important
D
o not clamp work pieces with a diameter greater than
1
00 mm. The clamping force of the jaws is then too small and
the work piece may become loose. Danger of accident.
In order to clamp work pieces externally (e.g. for clamping solid
s
teel bars with greater diameters, the included outside jaws must
b
e inserted into the chuck instead of the factory-mounted inside
jaws.
To reverse or exchange the jaws, please proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the mains plug to prevent the machine from start-
i
ng up unintentionally.
2. Use the chuck key to screw out the jaws as far as possible so
that they can be removed from the chuck.
3. Reverse or exchange the jaws and reinsert. During the proce-
dure, please pay attention to the identification: Numbers (1, 2,
3
) have been imprinted on the jaws!
4. Screw down the chuck with the chuck key and check the cen-
tricity of the jaws. If required, correct the position of the jaws
by reinserting in the chuck body so that the jaws grip the spi-
ral in the correct position.
5. If you want to work with the inside jaw chuck again, repeat
the steps described above.
Switching on the machine
DANGER!
Before switching on the machine, ensure that the jaw chuck
wrench is not in the chuck, the jaws are not protruding and that
there is no-one in the danger zone.
DANGER!
Be sure to ensure that the turning jaws are tightened
securely before switching on the device since they could
be loosened by centrifugal force if there is no resistance.
Serious injuries or material damage may result as a consequence
of this!
Caution:
Always work within the intended performance range! Avoid
spindle blockages caused by overloading. In the event of the
spindle blocking during operation, please switch off the machine
immediately and configure the feed and infeed for further machin-
ing to avoid overloading of the machine.
Caution!
Before inserting the mains plug, please check if the information
on the rating plate matches the local conditions of your mains
supply. If they do not match, then damage or hazards during work
could be result!
Caution!
Always wear hearing protection and protective goggles while
working!
Caution!
Avoid abnormal body posture! Make sure you stand securely and
can keep your balance.
Attention!
Please note that due to the motor design, the motor could
become very hot if allowed to idle for an extended length of time.
Although this does not indicate that the motor is defective, it is
advisable nevertheless to avoid situations of this kind by not
allowing the motor to idle unnecessarily.
Caution!
P
lease comply with the following when commissioning and work-
i
ng with the PD 400: Your machine is equipped with an automatic
safety shutdown and can only be operated when the chuck guard
is folded down! As soon as the chuck guard is folded up during
o
peration, the motor will shut off automatically! Only work with a
f
olded down chuck guard! If the guard is defective, the machine
may no longer be operated!
Avoid unnatural body positions. Ensure that you are standing in a
safe position and keep your balance.

. Set direction switch 1 (Fig. 2) to "0".
2. Disengage the leadscrew (turn leadscrew switch 2 to the left).
3. Set a low speed (stepper switch 3 to I).
4. Switch on the machine at the main switch 4. The function dis-
play 5 now lights.
5. Turn the direction switch to the right. The lathe chuck now
rotates in the working direction.
Quick adjustment of the support
The support can be quickly moved via handwheel 1 (Fig. 3). For
this purpose, the support must first be disengaged.
Important
Loosen clamping screw 2 by half a turn beforehand.
1. Push lever 3 upwards.
2. Adjust the support by turning handwheel 1
(1 revolution = 10.5 mm)
Switching on the automatic feed
1. Set machine to "0" at direction switch 1 (Fig. 2)
2. Disengage support (push lever 3 (Fig. 3) upwards).
3. Ensure that handwheel 10 (Fig. 1) moves freely because it
moves the leadscrew when engaged.
4. Engage leadscrew (turn leadscrew switch 2 (Fig. 2) to the
right).
5. Switch machine on by setting direction switch to the right. The
leadscrew and the handwheel now also turn.
Important
The automatic feed is not equipped with an automatic cut-off.
Ensure that you disengage the support before it runs against the
lathe chuck.
6. Engage support (push lever 3 (Fig. 3) downwards). The sup-
port now moves in the working direction.
Note
When working, always operate the automatic feed via lever 3
(Fig. 3) only. Only operate the leadscrew switch 2 (Fig. 2) when
the machine is stopped.
