5. Настройка

5.1 Распаковка и осмотр

  1. Carefully remove the lathe from its packaging. Retain all packaging materials for future transport or storage.
  2. Inspect the machine for any signs of shipping damage. Report any damage to the carrier and seller immediately.
  3. Clean all protective coatings (e.g., grease, oil) from the machine surfaces using a suitable degreaser.
  4. Verify that all components and accessories listed in the packing list are present.

5.2 Mounting and Leveling

  1. Place the lathe on a sturdy, level workbench capable of supporting its weight (61 kg).
  2. Secure the lathe to the workbench using appropriate bolts and nuts to prevent movement during operation.
  3. Use a precision level to ensure the lathe bed is perfectly level. Adjust the mounting points as necessary. Proper leveling is crucial for accurate machining.

5.3 Электрическое подключение

  1. Убедитесь, что источник питания соответствует мощностиtage and frequency requirements specified on the machine's nameplate.
  2. Connect the lathe to a grounded electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords unless absolutely necessary, and ensure they are rated for the machine's power requirements.
  3. Before powering on, ensure the emergency stop button is disengaged and all controls are in the OFF position.

6. Операция

6.1 Включение питания и регулировка скорости

  1. After ensuring all safety checks are complete, connect the lathe to power.
