12. Do not force tool. The machine will do a safer and better job at the rate for which it was designed. 13. Use correct tool. Do not force machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. 14.
ECTION 2: POWER SUPP LY Availability Circuit Requirements Before installing the machine, consider the This machine is prewired to operate on a availability and proximity of the required 110V power supply circuit that has a power supply circuit. If an existing circuit verified ground and meets the following does not meet the requirements for this requirements:...
Grounding & Plug Requirements This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain malfunctions or Voltage:220V-240V Minimum Gauge Size....2 mm ² breakdowns, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least Maximum Length………………….6 m. resistance for electric current. This machine is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding plug.
ECTION 3: SETUP This machine presents serious injury Inventory hazards to untrained users. Read through this entire manual to become familiar with The following is a description of the main the controls and operations before starting components shipped with your machine. the machine! Lay the components out to inventory them.
Clean Up The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to prevent corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or degreaser. For thorough cleaning, some parts must be removed. For optimum performance, clean all moving parts or sliding contact surfaces.
Open the Cover Note: Must wipe on the pulley Lift the lock handle and counter clockwise, oil before installation . open the cover. See Figure 3 LOCK Figure 3 Install belt and Chang speeds Belt is not installed in the lathe, You need to install their own.
11. Flip up the emergency stop button, the Test Run Lathe lathe stops. Allow the lathe to run for at least two full minutes to make sure it is running Before continuing to Operate, test run satisfactorily and the chuck is turning the lathe to make sure it runs properly.
SECTION 4: OPERATE General The Model BD-12 will perform many types of operations that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed incorrectly. The instructions in this section are written with the understanding that the operator has the necessary knowledge and skills to operate this machine.
Removing/Installing Chuck or Faceplate The BD-12 lathe is shipped with a 3-jaw chuck installed, but also includes a 4-jaw chuck and 10" faceplate. The chucks and faceplate mount to the spindle with a D1-4 cam lock system, which uses a key to loosen and tighten cam locks for removal or installation.

Tailstock Positioning Longitudinal Positioning To adjust the tailstock longitudinally, do these steps: 1. Loosen the tailstock Quick lock shown in Figure 14. 2. Slide the tailstock into position along the bed, then tighten the clamp nut to secure the tailstock in the new position. Offset Positioning Figure 14 .Tailstock positioning controls.
4. Use the compound slide handwheel to move Cross Slide the tool back and forth along the axis of the The cross slide moves perpendicular to the new angle. Similar to adjusting the cross slide longitudinal axis and features a scale on the handwheel, make sure the threads are engaging handwheel that displays graduations of one and all backlash has been cleared before you set...
move the carriage manually or with the power Carriage Handwheel feed. The carriage handwheel (Figure 14)moves the carriage left or right along the bed. This manual control is necessary when setting up the machine for turning or when manual movement is desired during turning operations.
Threads and Change gears Figure 24 Change Gears Do not change direction when the lathe is running, please turn the stop button , then change the needed direction . If not ,you will be in danger. We advise you to adjust the speed to 125r/min when you make thread ,and the screw relief Figure 23 metric chart groove must be three times than screw pitch at...
Clutch Overload This machine is furnished with Clutch Overload protection device. When it’s loaded over or the slide touch Stopping plate , this device will work and stop the feeding of the cutter. Clutch overload protection device can adjust and rotate, The Adj. Nut can adjust the torch of the overload. See Figure 26 ,The Adj.
SECTION 5: MAINTENANCE Lubrication Your lathe has numerous moving metal-to- metal contacts that require proper lubrication to help ensure efficient and long-lasting operation. Other than the lubrication points covered in this section, all other bearings are internally lubricated and sealed at the factory. Simply leave them alone unless they need to be replaced.
Feed Rate Gearbox Oil To change the oil in the reservoir: Reservoir Lubricant Frequency 1. DISCONN ECT LATHE FROM POWER! ISO 68 or Check/ Half-Way 2. Remove the reservoir fill plug (see Equivalent Fill Every 8 Mark in Figure 31). Lubricant Hours Sight Glass...
Gibs There are three gib adjustments for the Model C8—the cross-slide gib, the compound slide gib, and the saddle gib. Cross-slide Gib—The gib on the cross-slide is adjusted by tightening or loosening the five gib screws located on the right-hand side of the slide (shown in Figure 32).
Bearing Preload 6. Place a wooden block over the outboard end of the spindle, and hit it soundly with This lathe is shipped from the factory with the the heavy dead blow hammer (see Figure spindle bearing preload properly adjusted. If 37).

6. Turn the spindle OFF, disconnect the lathe from power, then check the temperature of the spindle. — If the spindle nose is slightly warm to the touch, you have correct bearing preload. — If the spindle nose is hotter than you can comfortably keep your hand on, the preload is too tight and you must repeat the bearing preload adjustment procedure.
