So i'm observing an odd issue with my new lathe. When I power up the lathe pushing the green power button, I then attempt to rotate the spindle "L - R" switch to either rotation position and I see the spindle rotate a tiny bit and then nothing. I have to put the spindle switch in either L or R position FIRST then press the green power button for the spindle rotation to start. Seems like some type of internal circut breaker keeps tripping off when I try to use the spindle switch. Are you supposed to be able to flip the spindle switch back and fourth between L and R while the lathe is powered up ? If I continue to press and hold the green power button then I can switch back and fourth with spindle rotation and the spindle turns as it should. I'm confused as to what's going on. Sounds like by reading the manual you should be able to switch rotation direction under power via the spindle switch.
