Set-up and commissioning

Possibility of unexpected start-up! Injuries could be the result.
Therefore, always disconnect the mains plug for all adjust-
ment and maintenance work!
Setting up the device (Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b):
Please check the device for any signs of damage in transit im-
mediately upon unpacking! Damaged packaging may already in-
dicate improper handling during transportation. Damage in tran-
sit must be claimed immediately with your dealer or the corre-
sponding transport company!

Danger!
Caution!
The following elements are included with the standard equip-
ment of the PROXXON FD 150/E lathe:
• Three-jaw chuck
• Chuck guard
• Travelling lathe centre
• Set of tools
• Tool holder
When lifting the machine, make sure that the plastic hood 1 (Fig.
2 a) of the gear case is closed. Otherwise, close the hood and
tighten the knurled screw 2, or else the cap could break as a re-
sult.
1. To set up the lathe, remove it from the packaging and set it
up on a straight and level surface. The setup site must be sta-
ble and free from vibrations. Secure stability must be guar-
anteed!
2. Please note: The machine may only be operated if screwed
securely to the surface! Drill holes (Item 3) in the angle
flanges of the base end caps have been provided for this pur-
pose. Please use screws with a 4 mm diameter.
3. In order to access the screw hole, it is important to fold up
the plastic hood 1 of the gear case on the headstock side. To
do so, simply release the knurled screw 2 (Fig. 2a) and swing
open the plastic hood.

Lathe elements and their operation

Tailstock (Fig. 3):

The tailstock 1 on the right side of the machine base contains
quill 2. The travelling lathe centre 3 is inserted into the inside
cone contained within. This helps support and stabilise longer
workpieces.
When the chuck projection is greater than the 3-fold workpiece
diameter, the workpiece should be generally held at the right
end by the tailstock with the lathe centre.
Ideally, the centre should engage with a so-called centring hole.
This can be established using the drill chuck available as acces-
sory. The procedure is described in detail later on.
The location tapers must always be absolutely clean.
Dirt and particularly metal chips impair accuracy and can render
the quill and cone useless.

Working with the tailstock

1. To insert, e.g., the lathe centre 3, extend the quill 2 by turn-
ing the handwheel 4 approx. 10 mm.
