injuryhandle with extreme care.
• Use only the handles provided to lift, carry
and operate the machine.
PUTTING YOUR LIGHTNING INTO SERVICE.
• When your Lightning is first put into service/
operation, allow the machine to come to
room temoerature.
• Make sure a Knife is installed. If no blade is
installed, damage may occur to sharpener
system.
• Before the machine is plugged in, make sure
the motor rotates freely and the knife is properly
set.
To do this turn the Knurled Rotor Knob
(part #2900328) at the rear of the machine. The
knife should
not strike theToeplate orthe table
when knob is rotated.
BEFORE STARTING: ~AUTION
• Add oil to machine. Put oil in Oil Housing
Assembly, see #2900180, page 3. Use Oil
(112901102) or good grade 20-30 non-deter·
gent oil. Fill until housing is to 1/2 capacity. Full
capacity is to RED line and will last for eight
hours of operation.
NOTE: To avoid oil leakage, fill oil reservoir
only with
the amount of oil needed to com-
plete the shift. Neveroverfill or leave oil in
reservoir over night.
• Lightning motors are Repulsion Induction
Motors, requiring 11 0 or 2201230 vo~ single
phase
only. Be sure electric supply, machine
plug and connector are properly installed.
•
Make sure sharpener assembly is in locked posi·
lion. II not, raise Trip Lock Lever (A) up, then press
Sharpener Release Lever (B) half way down and
move sharpener up into lodked position. Turn
knurled knob at rear of motor a few revolutions by
hand to make sure knife moves easily.
STARTING MACHINE:
• Read all above information first.
• Make sure motor switch is in "OFF" position.
• Make sure a blade is in machine.
• Make sure sharpener is in locked position.
• Turn Knurled Knob at rear of motor over a few
revolutions by hand to see if Knife moves freely.
• Connect electrical plug
• Switch power
"ON".
CHANGING THE BLADE:
• Switch off the machine and disconnectthe
power
supply.
• When the old blade is removed, clean care fully
with the
Knife Slot Cleaning Tool so that alliin!
is removed. The machine must not beturned on
without the blade correctly in place.
• To ensure the blade iscorrectly in place before
restarting the machine, turn the black Knurled
Rotor
Knob at the rear of the motor one revolu-
tion by hand. Ifthe blade is not in the correct
position, itwill hit the Toeplate
and the blade
changing operation must
ba recommenced.
IMPORTANT:
• Forthe first week or two, or afterthe machine
has been idle for
any length of time, the motor
should be turned on and off a few times (flash
starting) before allowing it to run continuously.
This permitsthe oil to warm up and flow easily
into the moving parts.
