1. Cautions
We are pleased that you will use our CDL series of machines. The machine
Is produced meticulously and so it is of a lathe with high properties and conforming to the
international standards.
The operators should read the operating manual carefully and strictly obey the rules and
descriptions about the machine during operating so as to get effective and correct operation
and prolong the service life of the machine. With any trouble, please contact us in time if the
trouble can not be removed by means of the operating manual.
Cautions
1.1 Don’t install the machine at a place where the sun shines directly or radiator is working
around.
1.2 Only use the specified brand of lubricant to lubricate the machine.
1.3 Be sure to wipe and cleanse it after operation is done daily, it is better to cover it when
it is not in-use so as to prevent it from being dirtied by dust.
1.4 Don’t let the machine be infected with chip or dust, particularly the guide way should
be kept clean.
1.5 In case in guide way of lathe surface, there is defect caused by article dropped, don’t
move apron up there. It should be used after repair.
1.6 When clamping workpiece with three-jaw chuck of Ø250mm(10”), Max. clamping
diameter for positive jaw is Ø100mm(4”)(Clamping diameter can be enlarged if reverse
jaw is used.), i.e, Max. rotating diameter of the jaws extension outside is Ø320mm(12
19/22”). When exceeds this value, the chuck cover should be removed to prevent from
impacting.
1.7 When using four-jaw chuck of Ø400mm(16”), the speed of spindle should not be
allowed to exceed 700r/min.
1.8 To prevent the rear guard from being impacted in transportation, two ends of the guard
are fixed by screws on the vertical post. Remove the screws when opening the box.

3. Handling, Installation and adjustment
3.1 Handling
When hoisting, the steel ropes should be in the hoisting holes of the machine base and
then place the hoisting rings to the hook of the crane. In hoisting, should move the apron and
tailstock for keeping balance. When reaching the installation position, place the machine lightly.
It is strictly forbidden that the machine is impacted with the ground to prevent the machine
accuracy from being affected. The wood blocks should be put between the steel wire ropes and
the machine where contacted to avoid damaging to the surface of the machine.
3.2 Installation
Before installation of the machine, the foundation should be prepared according to the
foundation diagram(Fig. 3.2) and in order to ensure good cutting conditions, the foundation
must be firm.
3.3 Cleaning
During installation and adjustment of the machine, clean the rust-proof painting on the
surfaces of the machine with cleaning agent. The surfaces of guideways, lead screw, feed rod
and the other exposing machined surfaces should be smeared with machine oil to prevent them
from rusting. After the surfaces of the machine are cleaned and clear, supply the machine with
enough lubrication oil according to the lubrication system diagram of the machine.
3.4 Adjustment
After the machine is placed on the foundation, adjust the installation level of the
machine with leveler through the adjusting screws.

4.3 Spindle rotation
According to the material property and cutting condition, select a spindle speed
from the cutting speed plate. After the speed required is got through fitting of the levers
of (1), (2) and (3) turn on the main (9). When the control lever (11) of the spindle is
raised upward, the spindle rotates forward (counter clockwise); when the lever is
lowered, the spindle is rotated backward (clockwise); when the lever is in neutral
position, the spindle stops rotating.
NOTE: 1) When select the spindle speed, all of the relative gears must be engaged
completely.
2) When it need emergency stop, pedal down the foot brake pedal (19). If the foot
pedal is used, the lever (11) should be in the neutral position and then the machine
may be restarted.
3) Before changing the spindle speed, stop the machine so as to protect the gears.
4.4 Operation of the feed box
The levers (5), (6) and the select dial (7) are set to the correct positions according
to the indications get from the plate of thread pitch and feed, and then the thread pitch
or spindle is rotating.
NOTE: When it needs turning the lever (5), the spindle should be in stop; but the lever (6) can
be turned only when the spindle is rotating.
4.5 Manual feed
Move the auto-feed lever (16) and the reverse lever (4) to the N (neutral) positions
at first, and then raise the half nut lever (18) and push down the lever (15). A
longitudinal motion may be got with the handwheel (13) and a transverse motion may
be got with the lever (14) or compound rest lever (27).
10
4.6 Auto-feed
Operation of auto-feed procedure is as follows:
1) Select a feed rate from the indication plate and then move all of the select levers to
the assigned position.
2) Select the feed direction with the reverse select lever (4).
3) Move the levers (5), (6) and (7) to the assigned position.
4) Move the levers (18) up to the disengaged position.
5) Move the levers (16) downward to the auto-feed position.
6) Move the levers (15) to select longitudinal or transverse feed.

is necessary to extract the correct number of mismatched pieces, i.e. to delimit the
pitch ratio of workpieces and lead screw to the least pithy fractions. The scale
divisions to be swiveled by the thread chasing dial should be:
Number of the scale divisions
= the number of mismatch pitches × 1/2 of total number of scale divisions
For example: When the pitch of workpiece is 4mm, the lead screw pitch is 6mm.
Pitch of workpiece / Lead screw pitch= 4/6 = 2/3 (least pithy fraction)
In this formula, 2 is the number of mismatched pitches, which is integral multiples of
16, the wormwheel tooth number of the thread chasing dial. Therefore, the number of
scale division to be swiveled by the thread chasing dial is 2×1/2 = 1 division at this
time, the half nut is correctly engaged with the lead screw without mismatch.
NOTE: When the number of mismatched pitches is not integral multiples of the number of
wormwheel teeth of the thread chasing dial, mismatch will still occur.
For example: When the pitch of workpiece is 1.25mm, the lead screw pitch is 6mm.
Pitch of workpiece / Lead screw pitch = 1.25/6 = 5/24 ( least pithy fraction )
In the formula, 5 is the number of mismatched pitches, therefore, the number of scale
division to be swiveled by the thread chasing dial is 5 × 1/2 = 2.5, which is not integral
multiples of the wormwheel tooth number of the thread chasing dial. So mismatch will
occur.
12
4.8 Cutting of threads ( For Lathes Model CDL2000 and CDL2000G)
NOTE: For metric thread system, the half-nut should be engaged with lead screw until
the thread cutting is finished.

5. Lubrication
5.2 Feedbox
The bath lubrication is adopted for feedback. For changing oil, drain all oil by taking
off the plug, the oil is supplied by opening the oil cap and fill oil until the level reaches
the position indicated on the oil leveler.

9. Digital display measuring device
This machine is based on universal lathe CDL6(1/2)51. It adopts two DRO grating
scales on X-axis and Z-axis respectively. Its performance and specification are the
same as that of CDL6(1/2)51, so refer to operating manual CDL6(1/2)51 for reference.
The DRO equipment has been adopted to reach high accuracy, stable performance
and good product quality. It also can realize easy operating, convenient adjustment
and higher efficiency.
9.2. Installation
9.2.1 The parallelism error between guideway and two vertical side planes
of the scale should be within 0.01mm.
9.2.2 The clearance of two adjustment parallel planes between reading
head and scale body is 1.2-1.5mm or 3mm. See DRO ruler manual.
9.3. Inspection
Move the work table when power is on. Check if the figures on the DRO
display are normal. The zero setting error should be within ±0.001.
