5. Setup
5.1 Spakkjar u Spezzjoni
Carefully remove the lathe and all components from the packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Clean any protective grease or oil from the machine surfaces using a suitable degreaser.
5.2 Tqegħid u Immuntar
Place the lathe on a sturdy, level workbench capable of supporting its weight (approximately 37 kg). Secure the lathe to the workbench using appropriate bolts and fasteners to prevent movement during operation.
5.3 Konnessjoni Elettrika
Connect the lathe to a grounded 220V AC power outlet. Ensure the power supply matches the machine's requirements (600W motor). Do not use extension cords unless absolutely necessary, and ensure they are rated for the machine's power draw.
5.4 Installazzjoni u Aġġustament taċ-Ċokk
The 3-jaw chuck is typically pre-installed. Ensure it is securely fastened. The chuck is designed to hold both square and round workpieces. Refer to the chuck jaw diagram for proper workpiece clamping.
Immaġni 5.1: Close-up view of the 3-jaw chuck, which can be adapted for various workpiece sizes and shapes. The chuck has a clampfirxa ta' 100 mm.
| Tip tax-xedaq | Internal Jaws (A-A1) | External Jaws (B-B1) | External Jaws (C-C1) |
|---|---|---|---|

6. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
6.1 Power On/Off
To power on the lathe, ensure the emergency stop button is disengaged (pulled out). Turn the main power switch to the 'ON' position. To turn off, press the emergency stop button or turn the main power switch to 'OFF'.
6.2 Spindle Speed Control
The lathe features variable speed control. Use the speed control knob to adjust the spindle RPM from 0 to 2250. The current speed will be displayed on the LCD. Always adjust speed gradually and select an appropriate speed for the material and operation.
6.3 Loading Workpieces
Open the chuck jaws using the chuck key. Insert the workpiece and tighten the jaws firmly and evenly. Ensure the workpiece is centered and runs true before starting the lathe. For longer workpieces, use the tailstock for additional support.
6.4 Tool Post and Tailstock Adjustment
Mount the appropriate cutting tool in the tool post. Adjust the tool height to be on the center line of the workpiece. Use the carriage and cross slide handwheels to position the tool. The tailstock can be adjusted along the bed and its quill extended or retracted to support work or hold drilling tools.
