The lathe is powered up by pressing the "Power On" button. If necessary,
manually jog cross-slide and saddle away from workpiece. If equipped with tail-
stock, unclamp it, move it to farthest position from chuck and retract quill. Press
"Power Up/Restart" and the cross-slide will automatically find home in the X
axis, while the saddle finds home in the Z axis.
NOTE: Manually jog the X-axis toward the operator and the Z-axis away
from the spindle, before pressing Power Up/Restart. This will
save time when the machine automatically finds home. When
equipped with a tool turret and a tailstock, be sure to zero
return single axis so that large tools do not get obstructed by
the tailstock.
