immediately. As the machine is without any power. Turn
the switch clockwise to unlock the switch before starting
the machine.
NOTE: To restart the machine, 5 to 7 seconds of waiting
is needed for the inverter to release the current.

D. Reverse Switch – Reverses the spindle rotation. Used for
executing a tapping operation.

E. Tachometer–Displays the rate of spindle rotation in RPM.
F. Spindle Speed Control knob – Changes the speed of

spindle rotation.

G. Pump Switch – Starts the coolant flow for cutting.
H. Drilling/Tapping Selector – Selects the mode of operation.

Fig 3

The coolant tank (Fig 3) holds coolant, which pumped to the
work piece for cooling and lubricating while cutting. Before
the operation of a new machine, add coolant to the coolant
tank. When iron filings clog the screen, cleaning will be
required. Before cleaning, take off the screen and drain out
the coolant.

Fig 4

The machine head (Fig 4) can be rotated 360° around the
column. It allows more flexibility in work piece sizes.

Turn off the machine.
Unlock the head handles (I–Fig. 2).
Use the riser handle to raise or lower the head. Firmly grip

the head and push left or right to rotate the head.
Lock the head handles (I).
Always keep the machine head locked after the height of
