1. WARRANTY
All new Haas Toolroom Lathes are warranted exclusively by the Haas Automa-
tion’s (“Manufacturer”) limited warranty against defects in material and work-
manship for a period of 1 year from the date of purchase, which is the date that
a machine is installed at the end user. See the Warranty section of the Lathe
Operator’s Manual for further warranty information.
2. SAFETY
Read and Follow all Safety Warnings – Familiarize yourself with the Safety
section of the Operator’s Manual. Be aware of the other people around you in
the shop; ying chips can seriously injure people who may not be a safe dis-
tance away. Always wear safety glasses. Initial cuts/setups should be cut at a
slower speed to reduce the possibility of tool or machine damage. As with any
open frame lathe, chip screens are highly recommended.
The Toolroom Lathe (with the exception of the TL-4) is equipped with a hand
held safety switch. The button must be pressed any time automatic machining
is taking place. Releasing the switch will cause the spindle and axes motion to
stop. In order to resume automatic machining, the button and Cycle Start must
be pressed (it is not necessary to hold down the Cycle Start switch).
Workholding Safety
The care and safety issues of the workholder’s manufacturer must be followed
to ensure a safe working environment and to avoid damaging the machine.
Cleaning and maintenance should be done often. Inspect the equipment for
improper wear, cracks or missing pieces. Do not operate if any of these are
found.
Do not start the lathe until it is set up properly. Interference between the work-
holding equipment and the lathe will cause damage to both.
Use the correct chuck size; do not allow the chuck jaws to protrude past the
chuck body.
Use additional support if turning long parts.
Remove the chuck wrench before starting the machine.
Do not modify workholding equipment.
Never exceed the maximum speed of the chuck.
Additional safety issues are outlined in the Lathe Operator’s man-
ual.

2. Run Z-axis left to right and level machine by adjusting leveling screws. Verify
each leveling screw requires approximately same torque to turn for proper load-
ing. Once completed, tighten lock nuts on leveling screws.
3. Re-position cross-slide close to chuck, and place the level on the cross-slide,
parallel to the Z-axis and run Z-axis left to right and level machine by adjusting
leveling screws. Verify each leveling screw requires approximately same torque
to turn to ensure proper loading. Once completed, tighten lock nuts on leveling
screws.
tl-4 leveling
Place the lathe in position on the shop oor. Rough level by measuring from the
oor to the bottom of the base (very close to 3.5 inches). Do this to the 4 corner
leveling screws. The 4 middle leveling screws must not touch the leveling pads.
Loosely screw the jam nuts onto the leveling screws. An electronic level is
required for the installation. The leveling specication is +/- .00015”.
1. Loosen the front corner leveling screw (3) so that it is just above the leveling
pad and jog the cross-slide to the end of Z-axis travel closest to the spindle head
and to the middle of X-axis travel.
2. Position the level on the cross-slide, parallel to the X-axis and adjust the cor-
ner leveling screws closest to the spindle head (1,4) until machine is level.
3. Position the level parallel to the Z-axis. Adjust the corner rear leveling screw
closest to the tailstock (2) until machine is level. The front screw (3) was left
loose and must remain loose.
4. Position the level parallel to the X-axis. Jog the cross slide along the Z-axis
from the spindle head to the tailstock. Adjust the front corner leveling screw (3)
until machine is level.
5. Jog Z-axis through its travel range to verify there is no twist. Adjust corner
leveling screws until twist is removed.
6. Recheck the level in both X and Z-axes with the level parallel to the X-axis
and recheck the level in both X and Z-axes with the level parallel to the Z-axis.
7. Finish leveling procedure by adjusting the 4 leveling screws in the center of
the lathe until they are touching the leveling pads. Secure all leveling screws
with a jam nut. Verify lathe remains level (X and Z-axes).

Warning!
A separate earth ground wire of the same conductor size as the input
power is required to be connected to the chassis of the machine.
This ground wire is required for operator safety and for proper opera-
tion. This ground must be supplied from the main plant ground at
the service entrance, and should be routed in the same conduit as
the input power to the machine. A local cold water pipe, or ground
rod adjacent to the machine cannot be used as a primary ground.
The maximum voltage leg-to-leg or leg-to-ground should not exceed 260 volts.

Connecting the Toolroom Lathe to Power
1. Ensure the main circuit breaker is in the OFF position. Connect the power
lines to the top terminals of the main circuit breaker. Connect the separate
ground line to the ground bus to the left of the circuit breaker.
NOTE: For Single Phase operation, only circuit breaker terminals L1
and L3 are used.
2. T5 is the small transformer mounted on the power supply assembly next to
the main circuit breaker. Two input connectors allow it to be connected to either
240V or 200V. If incoming power is 220-250 VRMS, use the 240V connection.
If incoming power is 187-219 VRMS, use the 200V connection. Failure to use
the correct input connector results in either overheating of main contactor or
failure to reliably engage the main contactor.
3. The main power transformer is located at the bottom-right corner of the
control cabinet. It also has two different input connections located at terminal
board TB2. If incoming power is 187-215 VRMS, connect wire 74 to the 208V
position (center). If incoming power is 216-250 VRMS, connect wire 74 to the
240V position (left).
4. Turn main circuit breaker ON and press control panel Power-On button.
Verify 320V Power Supply fault indicator displays “1” (normal power-up se-
quence). Verify DC bus voltage on pins 6 & 7 is approximately 335VDC if
powered from 240V, or closer to 290V if powered from 208V. If voltage is not at
least 260VDC, call Service Department.
5. Turn the main circuit breaker Off, close the door, lock the latches and turn
the power back on.

4. OPERATION
The Toolroom Lathe includes features aimed at a machinist used to a manually
positioned lathe. The lathe uses familiar manual handles, while giving full CNC
capabilities. Haas Automation has added software features to the machine
control, to help develop full CNC programs and ease operation of manual
mode.
At power up, the Toolroom Lathe screen is displayed. This screen shows the
X and Z position of the lathe as well as the spindle speed. To navigate through
the menus, use the left and right arrow keys. To select the menu, press Write/
Enter. Some menus have sub-menus, which again use the left and right arrow
keys and Enter to select a sub-menu. Use the arrow keys to navigate through
the variables. Key in a variable using the number pad and press Write/Enter. To
exit the menu press Cancel.

Toolroom Lathe screens is accessible in MDI mode (full CNC). A G-Code list
is described in the Operator’s manual and includes examples to demonstrate
G-code usage.
power up
The lathe is powered up by pressing the “Power On” button. If necessary,
manually jog cross-slide and saddle away from workpiece. If equipped with tail-
stock, unclamp it, move it to farthest position from chuck and retract quill. Press
“Power Up/Restart” and the cross-slide will automatically nd home in the X
axis, while the saddle nds home in the Z axis.
NOTE: Manually jog the X-axis toward the operator and the Z-axis away
from the spindle, before pressing Power Up/Restart. This will
save time when the machine automatically nds home. When
equipped with a tool turret and a tailstock, be sure to zero
return single axis so that large tools do not get obstructed by
the tailstock.

optional tailStock (Standard with tl-4) operation
Loosen the clamp at the base of the tailstock casting. The tailstock base is
positioned manually, then secured in place using the two clamps. The hand
wheel on the rear of the casting is then used to drive the quill in and out. The
TL-1/2 tailstock has a #4 Morse taper (MT4), the TL-3’s use an MT5 and the
TL-4 uses an MT6.
The TL-4 tailstock is moved by pinning it to the saddle and using the hand-
wheel on the pendant to jog the Z-axis and move the tailstock into the desired
position. To secure the TL-4 tailstock:
1. Tighten the pressure knob on the hydraulic system.
2. Use the hand pump on the hydraulic system to increase the pressure to
between 2000 and 2300 psi.
3. Use the tailstock handwheel to extend the quill and lock it into place with the
lever.
NOTE: Remember to remove pressure by loosening the hydraulic
pressure knob before moving the tailstock.
CAUTION: When hydraulic pressure drops to 1500 psi during operation,
the spindle will stop. Check hydraulic pressure often to ensure
it does not drop below 2000 psi.
When tailstock is not in use, jog it to the rear stops. Hydraulic pressure is not
needed to keep it in position.
optional tool turret removal/reinStallation
If installed, the optional tool turret can be removed if extra space is required for
large parts or special tooling setups. The following instructions detail removal
and reinstallation for each of the tool turrets available.
tt-4 (tl-1/2)
Removal
1. Turn the air to the tool changer off (Either disconnect air to the regulator or
turn the regulator knob counterclockwise until pressure reads zero). Remove
the turret motor cover and disconnect the air line and electrical cables from

8. To correct level alignment errors, surface grind or mill the shims to the ap-
propriate thickness. The two surfaces must be parallel within .002” (0.051 mm).
9. Re-install the shims in their appropriate locations. If the tool center is below
spindle center after grinding, shim stock may be placed between the shim and
tool changer housing to restore the height.
Shim Locations Steps 10-13
10. Place the indicator tip against the inner vertical surface of the tool turret
(indicated by the shaded area on the illustration).
11. Jog the X-Axis and measure the alignment of the tool turret over the entire
surface.
12. Alignment error should not exceed 0.001” (0.025 mm) over 5.5” (140 mm)
travel.
13. Tap the base to correct any misalignment and tighten the turret mounting
bolts to 130 ft-lbs (176 Nm).
14. Re-verify alignment.
15. Change Setting 113 to “Auto”.
tt-20 (tl-3)
Removal
1. Turn off air to the turret at the regulator, then disconnect the air line and elec-
trical cable from the turret.
2. Remove the turret mounting bolts.
3. Install eyebolts into the threaded holes on both sides of the turret and use a
suitable lifting device and straps to lift the turret off of the riser block. Be sure
to lift the turret high enough to clear the dowel pins in the riser block before
moving it out. Note the number of shims used at each corner of the turret for
reinstallation.
4. Remove the riser block.

Reinstallation / Alignment
1. Stone and clean the riser block. Clean the cross slide.Align the riser block
(20-3525A) with the edge of the cross slide on the tailstock side and secure
loosely with ve bolts. Snug one corner bolt to allow it to act as a pivot during
alignment. The riser block will overlap the front of the cross slide table by a
small amount.
Riser Block Alignment Turret Alignment
2. Make sure the dowel holes on both the riser block and the turret are clean.
Insert two brass dowel pins into the riser. Line up the pins with the holes on the
bottom of the turret and install, being careful not to damage anything. Bolt the
turret to the riser block and snug the bolts.
3. Place an indicator tip against the face of the turret. Jog the X-Axis and check
for parallelism between the spindle casting and turret face. Tap the riser block
to correct any misalignment, within .001”. Temporarily connect air (set to 80 psi)
and power. Rotate the turret 90 degrees and recheck turret face atness, within
.001”. When alignment is conrmed, tighten the accessible riser block bolts
with the turret still installed, then lift the turret and tighten all riser block bolts to
90 ft-lbs. Reinstall the turret (with the original shims in place, if available) and
reverify alignment before proceeding. Disconnect air and power.
4. Check turret height by setting up boring bar holders and appropriate diam-
eter bars in positions 1 (toward machine front) and 4 (toward machine rear)
of the turret. The bars should extend 2” from the holders. Place the tip of the
indicator on top of the bar in position 1 and jog the Z-axis along the bar. The
deviation can be no more than .001” over the 2” travel. Move the X-axis until
the bar is in line (centered) with the spindle. Measure the height difference
between the bar and spindle. The two surfaces must be parallel within .001”.
Rotate position 4 to the front and repeat measurements. Use .001” horseshoe
shims to raise the turret as necessary to align. Trim the tabs from the shims
ush with the spacer/turret assembly. When alignment is complete, tighten the
turret bolts to 90 ft-lbs.
5. Change Setting 113 to “Auto”.

1. Turn off the machine. Turn off and disconnect shop air. Remove the T outlet
from the air regulator and reinstall the elbow tting. Reconnect lube system air
line to this outlet.
2. Remove the TT-10 rear cover.
3. Disconnect all cables, coolant and the air line from the turret. Detatch the
turret cable carrier from its bracket.
4. The cables and cable carrier can be stored as a unit on the back side of the
rear chip shield. See the following illustration. Replace the cutout cover and
secure with the screws used for the cable carrier.
5. Remove the mounting bolts. Install eyebolts and use a suitable lifting device
to remove the turret from the lathe.
6. Restore any previous coolant connection before proceeding.
Reinstallation
1. Clean the cross slide surface. Install eyebolts and use a suitable lifting
device to mount the TT-10 unit to the cross slide plate using four .75-10 x 2.75”
hex head bolts (retrots on machines built before June 2008 will require .625”
shoulder bolts). The bolts should be snug, but not fully torqued at this point.
2. Remove the rear cover of the TT-10. Secure the cable carrier bracket to the
inside of the turret casting using two .25-20 x .5” BHCS.
3. Install the cable carrier between the TT-10 and the rear chip shield cutout.
Secure with four .25-20 x .5” BHCS at each end (the screws at the chip shield
end secure the cable carrier and the tray to the chip shield). Wrap the cables
where they exit into the turret. Pull any excess cable back and wrap them in
individual loops in the control cabinet. Close the Z-axis cable carrier.
