WORK AREA SET UP    

1.  Lathe will need to be located on 

surface capable of bearing combined 

weight of Lathe and intended 

workpieces.  The surface must be 

able to withstand vibration generated 

by the Lathe during operation.

2.  Lathe must be flat, level and easily 

cleanable or the Lathe will not rotate 

properly and may become damaged.

3.  The unpainted surfaces are coated 

with a waxy oil to protect them from 

corrosion during shipment.  Remove 

coating with solvent cleaner or citrus-

based degreaser.  Avoid chlorine-

based solvents.
