hed power point installed in the nearness of the machine
and see that the lead can be guided to the contact without
cracks and pulls. If need be an earthed extension cable
can be used, but see that the cable is unrolled entirely and
that it is not in the way.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
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 ha-
ve been replaced by new ones. It is dangerous to insert the
plug of a loose cable in the wall outlet.
BEFORE OPERATION
For transport the machine has been greased with a layer
which prevents rust. This layer has no greasing function
and has to be removed with clothes. You can do this with a
solvant which is not aggressive, for example turpentine or
petroleum. When you are acquainted with metal-working
machines you can dismantle, control and oil several spare
parts with a light and universel machine-oil, for example
sewing-machine oil (sour free). Afterwards you finish the
complete maintenance table of chapter 14 ‘maintenance’.
ADJUSTMENT
The lathe has been adjusted to a minimum margin by the
factory. Because of transport some adjustments can be
changed. On the other hand the machine has been de-
signed in such a way that any appearing margin can be lif-
ted. This margin is also caused by wear end tear as a con-
sequence of an intensif use. If re-adjustment does not ha-
ve an effect anymore, the part is worned and has to be mo-
ved.
