2. DESCRIPTION
2.1 Application
The Chris-Marine VSL-type portable lathe is for use
in machining diesel engine valve seats from
ø 50 – 230 mm at 20 – 45° angle.
2.2 Features
The portable lathe is electrically driven and easy to
operate. It is of robust construction and designed
as a professional tool for machining valve seats
both onboard and ashore.
Storage box
4. INSTALLATION
4.1 Delivery
At delivery, the equipment is partly dismantled
and stored in a customised steel cornered
wooden box. Metal parts are coated to prevent
corrosion. Before assembling and using the
equipment, clean it carefully with a suitable
solvent.
IMPORTANT!
CAUTION!
Unexpected start!
Always have the emergency stop
button depressed when the electric
power is connected to the machine .
5. MACHINING PREPARATIONS
5.1 Mounting of Pilot Spindle
The basic machine is stored upside down in the
storage box, with the pilot spindle secured at the
front of the box. Mounted on the spindle, or
beside, is the stabilising support (9).
IMPORTANT!
CAUTION!
Unexpected start!
Always have the emergency stop
button depressed when the electric
power is connected to the machine .
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
If the turning bit is in contact with the seat face
and pressed downwards during locking of screws
(23) and (27), the tip can easily be broken.
6.2 Machining
Rotation of the machine is governed by a speed
control unit supplied with machine. Incorporated in
this unit is a programmable frequency converter,
with a standard program set prior to delivery. For a
complete description of all features, please read the
separate manual. Below is a short description how
to start and run the machine with standard
settings.
WARNING!
Protective outfit
Always use safety goggles and
protective cloths when the portable
lathe is in operation.
IMPORTANT!

7. MAINTENANCE
7.1 Care and Lubrication
The majority of bearings in the machine are of the
sealed type, therefore lubricated for life. Other
bearings are lubricated at assembly and require no
further lubrication.
7.2 Adjustments
The upper part of the angle guide (34) is spring
loaded and adjustable. If a clearance occurs
between the slide ( 6 ) and angle guide, proceed as
follows for adjustment.
IMPORTANT!
The spring pressure to the guide (34) is preset from
factory with screws (45).
These screws and spring setting must not be
changed as this can affect the function of the
machine.
8. REMINDERS
8.1 For Best Result
Keep the angle between turning bit and seat face as close as possible to
90 (Section 5.5)
Check for clearance between angle guide and slide (Section 7.2)
Check the arms of the stabilisation support can reach the walls and that
they are locked (Section 5.3).
Apply a cooling and lubricating cutting oil to the seat face for finer surface
texture and a longer life of the cutting bit.
For smaller valve seats, use cutting bit with part no. B042B021.
Clean the machine thoroughly then apply anti-corrosion fluid on all metallic
parts.
Always store the machine and it’s accessories in the storing box. The box
should be stored in a dry, clean place.
