Introduction
Introduction
This manual provides instructions and information required to operate the
ACE series on-car disc brake lathe.
This manual assumes that the technician is familiar with the basics of brake
service. Section 1 provides mechanical and electrical safety information,
specifications, as well as general information about the ACE. The following
sections contain detailed information about equipment, procedures, and
maintenance.
The owner of the lathe is solely responsible for arranging technical
training. Only qualified Hunter trained technicians should operate the lathe.
Maintaining records of personnel trained is solely the responsibility of the
owner or management.
This On-Car Disc Brake Lathe has been designed to
machine disc brake rotors on passenger cars and light
trucks. Use the lathe only for its intended purpose as
outlined in this manual.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read and follow the instructions and warnings provided in the service,
operation and specification documents of the products with which this lathe is
used (i.e., automobile manufacturers, brake component manufacturers etc.).
Read and follow all caution and warning labels affixed to your equipment and
tools. Misuse of this equipment can cause personal injury and shorten the life
of the brake lathe.
Keep all decals, labels, and notices clean and visible.
Always use wheel chocks in front of and behind the appropriate wheel after
positioning, to prevent movement of the vehicle on the rack.
Use caution when jacking the vehicle.
Always wear OSHA approved safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses have only
impact resistant lenses and are not appropriate eye protection.
Wear proper back support when lifting or removing wheels.
DO NOT ALTER THE ELECTRICAL PLUG. Plugging the
electrical plug into an unsuitable supply circuit will damage
the equipment and may result in personal injury.
Do not operate equipment with a damaged cord or equipment that has
been dropped or damaged until it has been examined by a Hunter Service
Representative.
The power plug serves as the disconnect device for this equipment. The
receptacle outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily
accessible.
Always unplug equipment from electrical outlet when not in use. Never use
the cord to pull the plug from the outlet. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating equal to or more
than that of the equipment should be used. Cords rated for less current than
the equipment may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so
that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
Verify that the electrical supply circuit and the receptacle are properly
grounded.
Do not use lathe in a dangerous environment. Do not use in damp or wet
locations, or expose to rain. Keep the work area well lighted.
Verify that the electrical supply circuit is adequate.
All visitors and children should be kept a safe distance from the work area.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not operate the equipment near open containers
of any flammable liquids (such as gasoline or diesel fuel).
Do not let cord hang over edge of table, bench, counter, or come in contact
with hot manifolds or moving parts.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of verifying that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the brake lathe before turning it on.
Keep the work area clean. Cluttered floors, benches, and areas around the
lathe invite accidents.
BE AWARE OF MOVING PARTS.
Keep hands clear during operation.
Wear proper apparel. Wear no loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry, which may be caught in moving parts. Non-slip
footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
If cutting operation is dusty, use face or dust mask.
Never stand on the brake lathe or trolley. Serious injury could occur if the
brake lathe is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
Keep guards in place and in good working order.
English
Unplug brake lathe before servicing, or when changing accessories such as
insert holders, bits, or cutters.
Do not force or overload the brake lathe. It will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
Manufacturer recommended maximum loading: 120 RPM and 0.0348 mm
(.012 inch) cutting depth.
Use the correct attaching components. Do not force or overload a tool or
attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
Maintain the brake lathe and its components with care. Keep brake lathe and
its components sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Use only Hunter recommended accessories. The use of non-recommended
accessories may cause risk of injury to persons and may not produce
satisfactory finish results.
Check for damaged parts. Before further use of the brake lathe and
components, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it would operate properly and perform its intended
function. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its
operation.
Never leave the brake lathe running while unattended. Turn the power "OFF."
Do not leave the brake lathe until it comes to a complete stop.
Use equipment only as described in this manual.

Specific Safety Precautions/Power Source
Specific Safety Precautions/Power
Specifications for Extension Cords
The lathe comes equipped with a 25-foot power cable, which should be
adequate to reach an outlet in most cases.
In the event that an extension cord is needed a good quality/heavy duty cord
must be used. Failure to use an appropriate cord may induce poor lathe
performance and intermittent operation. (For example: Most drop lights have
16 gauge or smaller wire. A drop light is not an acceptable extension cord.)
See below for the maximum length and rating of cord required.
12 gauge wire – 7.62 meters (25 feet) is maximum extension cord
length.
10 gauge wire – 15.24 meters (50 feet) is maximum extension cord
length.
Power Source Grounding Instructions
In case of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The brake
lathe is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green, with or without yellow stripes, is the equipment-grounding
conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do
not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel, if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
tool is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and
3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
Power Source Instructions
The lathe is intended for use on all grounded supply circuits having a nominal
rating of 115 volts AC in North America. The lathe has a grounding plug.
Do not use adaptors that allow you to bypass required equipment electrical
grounding.
The ACE lathe installed outside N. America is configured at the factory to
operate at 230 volts AC, but can be reconfigured in the field by an authorized
service representative, to operate at 115 volts AC.
Optional 230v Power Source (North America)
The lathe can also be connected to a power source that will apply 230 VAC
(208 VAC - 240 VAC) 50/60 Hz between the supply conductors of the power
cord. This will require conversion to 230 V and the plug, 42-36-2, to be
installed. Refer to Form 7299-T, AutoComp Elite
information on converting to 230 V. This conversion must be performed by a
certified Hunter representative only.
The power cord utilizes a twist lock connector, Nema L6-20P. The receptacle
may need modification to allow the proper connection of the power cord. Any
modification to the receptacle should be done by a certified electrician.
A protective ground connection, through the grounding
conductor in the power cord, is essential for safe operation.
Use only a power cord that is in good condition.
