The manual is better than what I saw on the Enco site for similar lathes but it still has a long way to go to reach Grizzly standards.
I briefly looked at the wiring diagram last night. It had lines on it that went from component to component but other than the two circles being M1 and M2 [motors I assume] nothing else was labeled. There were a string of normally open switches across the top of the diagram, several of which are probably safety switches and other might be front panel control switches. Labels on the components would have helped a lot but I am assuming the authors felt that would detract from the "treasure hunt" aspect of the game. There seems to be small dots near each connection on a component but that is all they are ... dots. To actually form a digit indicating the wire number would have required more toner and they were saving every place they could.
I will give the manufacturer credit in that the control box seems to be well laid out and all of the wires appear to be numbered. The frustration is the diagram. See previous "conservation of toner" comment. With a little bit of time and patience and any one of the many Harbor Freight "Free with Purchase" digital volt ohm meters I have lying around I should be able to make some sense out of it.
Arvid,
Let me know if you get desperate and I'll take a trip to your house and give you a hand.
