Daily After Use

Monthly 

• Clean wood shavings away from the lathe bed and tool rest.

• Smear a light coat of wax, ‘Axminster Machine Wax’, code 
101582’ , see fig 68, over the lathe bed to allow the banjo and 
tailstock to run more smoothly over the bed and to prevent 
corrosion.

• Spray ‘Axcaliber Dry Lubricant’, code 503468, over the tailstock 
barrel/live centre and headstock spindle/chuck after use, see fig 
69. 

• Check the tension of the belt and adjust, (See pages 19 for 
Changing the Belt Speed).

WARNING!! ALWAYS WEAR EYE
PROTECTION WHEN USING AN AIR LINE.

NOTE: IF THE LATHE IS NOT GOING TO BE 
USED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, APPLY A 
LIGHT COAT OF ‘LIBERON LUBRICATING 
WAX’ OVER THE BED AND PLACE A DUST 
SHEET OVER THE LATHE. 

• Check any build up of wood shaving on the motor 
and spindle pulleys and clean if necessarily.

• Also blow out the motor air vents, see fig 70.
