Using your Elite 12x36 EVS Lathe is quite straightforward. First, make sure it's properly installed on a stable surface. You can adjust the spindle speed according to your needs with the inverter drive system and use the LED RPM readout to set the exact speed. The 4 - position carriage stop helps you control the movement precisely. When working, use the three - jaw chuck to hold your workpiece securely. Don't forget to put on the chuck guards for safety. For chip removal, the front - facing chip pan makes it easy to clean up. As for maintenance, keep the headstock gears clean and lubricated to reduce vibration. Check the electromagnetic brake regularly to ensure it works well. If you use the integrated locking tool cabinet, organize your tools neatly. Also, be aware of the Prop 65 warning about cancer and reproductive harm. And always follow the operating guidelines for the best performance and safety of your lathe.
