SECTION 1: SAFETY READ MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS BELOW WILL RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY. Standard Safety Instructions 1. Thoroughly read the Instruction Manual before operating your machine. Learn the applications, limitations and potential hazards of this machine. Keep the manual in a safe and convenient place for future reference.

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 (e.g. a nut or a washer), we will gladly hazards to untrained users. Read through replace them; or for the sake of expediency, this entire manual to become familiar with replacements can be obtained at your local the controls and operations before starting hardware store.
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 Lift the lock handle and counter clockwise, The lathe has 100--2000rpm speeds. open the cover. See Figure 3 Release Adj. screw, can be Adjustable tension wheel LOCK Figure 3 Install belt and Chang speeds Belt is not installed in the lathe, You need to install their own.
forward, and turn the Reverse button, the lathe Test Run Lathe is reverse. Before continuing to Operate, test run 11. Flip up the emergency stop button, the lathe stops. the lathe to make sure it runs properly. Allow the lathe to run for at least two full To test run the lathe, do these steps: minutes to make sure it is running satisfactorily and the chuck is turning...
SECTION 4: OPERATE General The Model BD-10 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.
Never use a pry bar or steel hammer to Removing/Installing Chuck remove the chuck or you will damage or Faceplate machine components! The BD-10 spindle nose mounting system uses a circular lock plate with slotted holes that are oversized at one end (keyholes). When the lock plate is rotated counterclockwise (as facing the chuck), the studs with mounting nuts can pass through...
you are going to install. Also, make sure 3. Extend the quill approximately 1". that a chuck mounting nut is on each of the studs. 4. Slide the dead center into the tailstock quill as Shown in Figure 11 . 3.
Tailstock Positioning Cross Slide The cross slide moves perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and features a scale on the Longitudinal Positioning handwheel that displays graduations of one To adjust the tailstock longitudinally, do thousandths of an inch (0.002") or 0.05mm. these steps: 1.
control is necessary when setting up the Compound Slide machine for turning or when manual movement is desired during turning operations. Similar to the cross slide, the compound slide features a scale that displays graduations of one thousandths of an inch (0.002") or 0.05mm. Unlike the cross slide, the compound slide can be rotated to a set angle and then it can be moved...
Understanding Gear Charts The Lathe can be geared for a variety of different feed rates, so charts are placed on the drive cover of the lathe that explain how to set up the gear combinations for each type of carriage feed application. Three applications are broken into two categories of charts-turning and threading.
Here is a real-world example of a gear setup as shown on the chart: When the lathe is shipped from the factory, it is geared for a carriage feed rate of 0.1mm per spindle revolution, or the gear combination shaded in Figure 24.
Reverse threading The lathe can be setup to turn left-handed threads. See Figure 26/ Figure 27/ Figure 28 Figure 28 Fixed screw hole When Forward gear mesh D gear is right- handed threads, see Figure 26 When Reverse gear mesh D gear is left-handed threads, see Figure 27 Figure 26 Forward threading...
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.
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 33).
Bearing Preload This lathe is shipped from the factory with the spindle bearing preload properly adjusted. If the spindle ever develops excessive end-play and the workpiece finish suffers, you can adjust the bearing preload to remove the unnecessary end-play and improve the workpiece finish. To adjust the spindle bearing preload: 1.

the bearing preload adjustment procedure. When repeating the procedure, rotate the inner spanner nut a little less during Step 7 in the preceding instructions. NOTICE Do not over tighten the outer spanner nut because additional pressure can force the bearings even tighter against the races in the headstock and cause the headstock to compress, crack, or...
