ASSEMBLY
Important Notes
Please take some time to read the section entitled
‘Illustration and Description’ to identify the various
parts of your machine so that you are familiar with the
terminology we will use to enable you to set up and
operate your table lathe safely and correctly.
The lathe and its accessories will arrive coated with
corrosion preventative grease. This will need to be
cleaned from the lathe, its components and accesso-
ries prior to it being set up. Wearing overalls and rubber
gloves is advisable, as is eye protection. After cleaning,
lightly coat the machine with a thin layer of light wax.
WARNING: THE WOOD LATHE IS A HEAVY
MACHINE, IT IS ADVISABLE TO USE A LIFTING
DEVICE SUCH AS A HOIST, SCISSOR LIFT OR SEEK
HELP WHEN ASSEMBLING THE LATHE.
WARNING! WE RECOMMEND YOU REMOVE THE
HEADSTOCK, TOOL REST AND TAILSTOCK FROM
THE LATHE BED BEFORE LIFTING THE LATHE
ASSEMBLY OFF THE PALLET
UNPACK YOUR NEW LATHE AND RECYCLE THE
PACKAGING RESPONSIBLY. THE CARDBOARD
PACKAGING IS BIODEGRADABLE.
PLEASE NOTE: The Trade Lathe comes 90%
pre-assembled. In order to reduce the footprint of the
machine for packaging, several items are dismounted
from the machine and need to be re-affixed. Please
check all the boxes, packets etc. to make sure that all
the parts have been accounted for.
1. Remove the headstock and tailstock stop pins to the
ends of the lathe bed and place safely aside.
2. Carefully remove the headstock, tailstock and tool rest
banjo and place safely aside.
NOTE: When removing the headstock assembly, make
sure that the control box power cord is well clear of any
sharp objects.
3. Using a lifting device or seek help, lift the lathe bed
from the pallet onto a work bench in readiness to mount
the leg stands (B).
Stand Assembly
1. Locate the two lathe stands (B) and the four adjustable
feet (C). There should be three nuts on each foot, remove
one nut from the threaded feet. Screw on the threaded
feet into the pre-drilled holes to the base of the stands,
see fig 01. on next page.
