Please take some time to read the section entitled
“Illustration & Parts 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 machine and its accessories will arrive coated
with corrosion preventative grease. This will need to
be cleaned from the machine, its components and
accessories prior to it being set up and
commissioned. Use coal oil, paraffin or a proprietary
de greaser to remove the barrier grease. Be warned,
it will stain if you splash it on clothing etc., wear
overalls, coverall et al., rubber gloves are also a good
idea, as is eye protection if your cleaning process
tends to be a little bit enthusiastic. After cleaning,
lightly coat the machine with a thin layer of light
machine oil. N.B If you used paraffin/kerosene make
sure you apply this thin film sooner rather than later.
95% of the machine comes fully assembled, (See
what’s included) to assemble the remaining 5%
