1. General
I. Introduction
This manual specifies the proper maintenance and operation of the TL-F20 CNC
lathe. It benefits both experienced and beginner CNC machine operators and
should be read thoroughly by all users.
All guidelines included in this manual should be studied and understood to
ensure the safety of the operator and to prevent any substantial damage to the
machine.
II. Safety Precautions
1) Operators should not touch any high-voltage terminals such as those found
in control panels, transformers, motors, or junction boxes. Severe electric
shock will be sustained otherwise. Electric shock may also result from
touching a switch with wet hands.
2) The emergency stop button’s location should be well known so that it can
be pressed as soon as possible in case a critic situation.
3) Power off the machine before switching a fuse.
4) Do not operate this machine during violent thunderstorms. Lightning can
cause equipment failure
5) Do not work with long hair that can be caught in the machine, keep it out of
the way with a net or by tying it at the back.
6) Provide enough working space around the machine to avoid falls.
7) Since water and oil can make the floor slippery, all floors should be kept
clean and dry.
8) Never touch a switch accidentally. If operating a switch, make sure it is the
right one.
9) Do not handle coolant with bare hands since it may cause some irritation.
10) Do not remove or tamper with safety devices such as stop dogs, limit
switched, or interlocks in order to increase the range of axis travel.
11) Keep a fire extinguisher at hand in case of fire or explosion due to cutting
flammable materials. Please ask your material provider for safety guidelines
when cutting volatile materials.
12) Hold work-pieces securely inside the chuck.
13) Stop machine operation before adjusting the coolant nozzle tip.
TL-F20 CNC Lathe User’s Manual

14) To remove a work-piece from the machine, stop the spindle and provide
plenty of space from the work-piece to the tool turret.
15) Do not operate the machine with the safety front door open.
16) Stop machine operation before installing or removing a tool.
17) Never wear loose or baggy clothing when operating the machine.
18) Never operate the machine under the influence of alcohol or any other
drug.
19) The operator should wear safety glasses to avoid flying debris or coolant
from making contact with his/her eyes.
20) Keep the machine clean. Do not let too many metal chips accumulate in the
work area.
21) Check the chip filter in the coolant tank, if too many chips accumulate, the
coolant will overflow and leak on the ground, resulting in a slip hazard.
22) Before leaving the machine at the end of the day, press the emergency
button, turn off the power button, and the main switch on the back of the
machine.
23) Keep hands clear of the pinch area around the X axis servo motor. Serious
injury can result from pinched hand and/or fingers.
III. Warm Up
1) Every day before use, warm up the machine by turning on the spindle for 10
minutes at about 1000-1500 rpm. Failure to do so may result in a shorter
lifespan of the spindle bearings.
2) If the machine is used right after being started, following a long idle period,
sliding parts may wear down due to lack of even lubrication. Furthermore,
thermal expansion of the machine components may jeopardize machining
accuracy. To prevent these outcomes, always warm up the machine before
daily operation by moving each axis through their entire travel at 50% of the
machine’s rapid speed for 10 minutes.
IV. Coolant
1) Use water-soluble coolant. If oil-based coolant is used, the coolant
temperature will rise, causing thermal distortion of the machine. Oil-based
coolants are also flammable so more care must be taken to avoid fires.
TL-F20 CNC Lathe User’s Manual

2) Make sure that the coolant used has no adverse effects on the human body.
Since water-based coolants often cause poisoning, pay sufficient attention
to the hygiene of the operator.
3) Make sure that the coolant does not cause curing or expansion of rubber or
plastic products, or chemical products.
4) Make sure to maintain the water-soluble coolant at the right concentration
for best results, otherwise the solution can become stale.
V. Treatment of Waste
1) Deposit metal chips and left over work-piece metal in a bucket. Appoint a
local qualified scrap metal company to dispose of it.
2) Store waste coolant and lubricant in separate containers to be disposed of
by some qualified recycling or sewage treatment company.
