UNPACKING
The machine is properly packaged and
shipped complete in a crate for safe
transportation. When unpacking, carefully
inspect the crate to ensure that nothing has
been damaged during transit. Open the
crate and check that the lathe and the parts
are in good condition.
While doing inventory, if you can not find
any part, check if the part is already
installed on the machine. Some of the parts
come pre-assembled.
