Special safety instructions
At the design of the machine is made allowance for the requirements for a safe use. Every change, adaptation, reconstruction or other
adaptation use can cancel the safety of the object. Besides the Warranty will expire through this.
Before, after and during working with the lathe a number of safety rules have to be taken. By the presence of turning parts and sharp objects
very severe injury can arise. Especially the bits of the turning chuck are very dangerous.
• The lathe has been designed for manufacturing unruly material and so it has to be able to develop a lot of power. That is why touching
turning parts is perilous. For this reason unlawfully, undesirably or unintentionally switching on the machine has to be prevented, for
example by the pushed in locking of the emergency stop valve by means of a small padlock.
• By the elastic working of the chisel metal parts can be shoot away with a big power at the most unexpected moments:
• Protection of the eyes is very important. Make it a habit to wear special safety glasses when you are in the space where the lathe stands.
Buy yourself a professional and tested copy which you can wear for a long time and if need be for visitors a cheaper one, but this one also
has to be a good performance.
• If you take care of a cheerful workshop you can prevent for example gripping in the machine or falling by stumbling over flinging about material.
• Be very careful when you make turning pieces of work with the hands:
• When you want to polish a surface turning, then take a long piece of polish paper which you can place half around the piece of work, with
the ends to your direction.
• Never turn the ends around the fingers, never push sand-paper on the piece of work with your hands.
• By turning, edges of the piece of work exist which are sharp as a razor. These edges have to be smoothed off with a file or a trimming
hook.
• Never remove chipcurls with your hands. Use a little hook which has been made by yourself of thread or buy a professional chips hook.
• Never grip over the turning machine or chuck when during turning something falls in or behind the bed. Always first stop the machine. See
that the covering plate lies on the opening in the bed.
• Agood lighting prevents that you operate the machine from too close by:
• If you apply strip light you have to make allowance for the so-called strobosto scopic effect. Through this a turning object seems to stand
still. Asolution is the use of double armatures by which a phase shifting of the two strip lights has been accomplished.
• Emergency stop. If a dangerous situation arises unexpectedly, for example if a badly exerted piece of work seems to get loose during
turning, you van use the emergency stop by giving a tap on the yellow cover of the safety switch, marked “STOP”. The machine now
stops without pushing in the switch button yourself.
Electrical safety
When using electric machines always observe the safety regulations applicable in your country to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
personal injury. Read the following safety instructions and also the enclosed safety instructions. Keep these instructions in a safe place!
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Replacing cables or plugs
Immediately throw away old cables or plugs when they have been replaced by new ones. It is dangerous to insert the plug of a loose cable in
the wall outlet.
3. INSTALLATION
Space
Next to a good maintenance it is very important the machine is installed drily, as the machine has been built up for de biggest part of metal.
Spaces can become moist by insufficient or a wrong ventilation, burning not regularly or by raced walls and lifting moisture. Condensation of
moisture on the metal is caused by suddenly raising the temperature in a cold space. See that the temperature is equable.
Unpacking and installing
The machine is packed in a strong case which you can dismantle to six flat parts which can be put away easily. These parts can be saved in
case you have to transport the lathe, for example for repair or for a removal. After you have opened the case the lathe has to be detached from
the pallet. For this you have to remove two nuts, in each bedfoot one. Later the nuts can be used again.
