Important safety notes Safety regulations for proper use 19. Only have repairs carried out by a qualified specialist! Repair work may only be carried out by persons who are qualified for the relevant repairs and who are familiar with the appropriate health and safety requirements.
Important safety notes Safety features In order to enable you to work safely with our machines, we have incorporated the following safety mechanisms. These meet the relevant European safety requirements. ■ Chuck protection hood The main spindle of the machine operates only with the chuck protection hood closed. For safety reasons, if the chuck protection hood is open, the machine cannot be switched on.
Delivery and set up The machine is packed with care at the factory. The following should be checked after delivery: 1. Whether the packaging shows damages to be reported or 2. Whether the machine shows transportation damages to be reported If this is the case, we ask you to communicate this information immediately.
Delivery and set up Transporting the machine We recommend two people to lift the machine, using the positions shown (1). To do this, a sufficiently dimensioned, at least Ø 20 mm steel rod is pushed through the main spindle. The machine should be carried and balanced by one person at the steel rod and by the other person, at the shown position on the opposite underside of the bed.
Putting into operation ■ Use a dry cloth to remove the corrosion protection that was applied to all exposed parts for transport ■ In the event of marine impregnation of exposed parts, it is recommended you spray them with oil, allow it to work, and then remove the impregnation with a dry cloth ■...

Specifications regarding the machine Revolution selection Select the spindle revolutions according to the material type of work piece diameter: ⇒ Small work piece diameter Relatively high revolutions ⇒ Large work piece diameter Low revolutions Revolutions and diameter give the cutting speed. In the event of a specified cutting speed, the required spindle revolutions can be calculated as follows: Cutting speed (V) x 1000 Revolutions...
Specifications regarding the machine Revolution changer The potentiometer can be used to infinitely adjust the revolutions of the working spindle from 150-2300 rpm (2nd setting = preset at the factory). If the lower revolutions of 30-490 rpm (1st setting) are required, the drive belt must be applied. To do this, proceed as follows: 1.
Specifications regarding the machine Electrical equipment The main drive motor (single phase series-wound motor) is supplied already installed ■ The main spindle drive has an ON/OFF switch with under-voltage trigger. ■ In order for the machine to start, the turn switch for forwards-reverse must be set to the required direction of rotation.

Achieving optimum results and avoiding incorrect usage Curved lathe chisel right (2) and left (1) ■ For longitudinal and face turning ■ This is designed to remove as much material as possible in a short time (without paying attention to the surface created on the work piece). Offset lateral lathe chisel (3) ■...
Thread cutting and automatic feed Thread cutting ■ The thread turning steel is a moulded turning steel with the profile of the thread to be cut. ■ It is ground according to templates (Figure 1) and must be set precisely to the center of the work piece otherwise there will be a distortion in the thread profile.
Thread cutting and automatic feed Tumbler gear drive Setting for right thread and longitudinal feed (factory preset) The toothed wheel (4) on the tumbler gear (1) is in contact with the toothed wheel (5) of the main spindle, thus, when the spindles rotate ant-clockwise (seen from the point of view of the lathe chuck), the tool skid moves towards the lathe chuck.
Thread cutting and automatic feed Use of change gears For automatic longitudinal turning, there are two feeds available with 0.085 and 0.16 mm per revolution (the wheels are set at the factory for feed with 0.085 mm per revolution). Fitting various toothed wheel combinations enables metric thread cutting from 0.10-7 mm and imperial threads with gradients of 10/1"-40/1"...

Lubrication of the machine The lathe is to be lubricated every 8 hours of operation in accordance with the lubrication plan. The lubrication points ■ Bed guide ■ Dovetail guide-Transverse skid ■ Dovetail guide-Longitudinal skid ■ Tailstock sleeve Are lubricated with the help of an oil can and an ordinary lubrication oil by moving the skid or sleeve backwards and forwards.
Readjusting the main spindle The headstock is screwed to the lathe bed. The headstock contains the main spindle with two adjustable precision tapered roller bearings. If adjustment is required, proceed as follows: 1. Open the gear cover hood by undoing the safety screw with the supplied special key 2.
Readjustment of the bearing clearance of the lead screw On the right side, the lead screw is axial mounted. This mount enables the lead screw (1) to be set without play. If adjustment to the mount is required, please proceed as follows: Trapezoidal-threaded spindle 1.
Page 28
Tool skid – Transverse skid The dovetail guide of the transverse skid can be adjusted. If adjustment is required, please proceed as follows: 1. Undo the hexagonal nuts (5) 2. Using an Allen key, tighten the threaded pins (7) in such a way that the skid can still be moved easily using the ball crank (1).
Tool skid – Longitudinal skid ■ The longitudinal skid is secure to the transverse skid upper section with the clamping ring (3). ■ After undoing the two hexagonal nuts (5) the longitudinal skid can be slid or turned on the transverse skid.
Tailstock ■ The tailstock can be moved on the lathe bed. ■ By moving the clamping lever (3), the tailstock can easily be secured in any position. ■ The tailstock is made up of an upper and lower section. ■ The upper section can be moved by a maximum of ±10 mm in order to turn long, slim tapers.
