manual before attempting set-up or operation!
Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
Uncrating and Clean-Up
1. Finish removing the wooden crate from around
the lathe.
2. Unbolt the lathe from the shipping crate bottom.
3. Choose a location for the lathe that is dry, has good
lighting and has enough room to be able to service the
lathe on all four sides.
4. Sling lathe after placing steel rods or pipes
(
of sufficient
strength
)
into holes of lathe stand as diagrammed in
Fig.1.
Do not lift by spindle.
With adequate lifting equipment, slowly raise
the lathe off the shipping crate bottom. Make
sure lathe is balanced before moving.
5. To avoid twisting the bed, the lathe's location must be
absolutely flat and level. Check for a level condition
using a machinist
’s precision level on the bedways both
front to back and side to side. The leveling pads
included in the tool box and the leveling screws in the
lathe base will help you to reach a level condition. The
lathe must be level to be accurate.
6. Clean all rust protected surfaces using a
mild commercial solvent, kerosene or diesel fuel. Do not
use paint thinner, gasoline, or lacquer thinner. These will
damage painted surfaces. Cover all cleaned
surfaces with a light film of 20W machine oil.
7. Remove the end gear cover. Clean all components of
the end gear assembly and coat all gears with a heavy,
non-slinging grease. Replace cover.
