NOTICE
Failure to follow start up and spindle break-
in procedures will cause rapid deterioration
of spindle and other related parts, and never
shift gears while lathe or mill is running.
It is essential to closely follow the proper break-in
procedures to ensure trouble free performance.
Complete this process once you have familiarized
yourself with all instructions in this manual.
To begin the start up procedure:

cated.
2.
Make sure there are no obstructions around
or underneath the spindle.
3.
Set the spindle speed to 240 RPM.
