check the oil level and lubricate all sliding surfaces such as the dovetail slot, half nut, worm gear, leadscrew,
feed rod, handle rod, tailstock quill before and after operating. Follow the main lubrication points illustrated below.
Lubrication Notes
Note: Headstock lubrication point (1). After running for the first 3 months, change the oil. Change oil once a year after first initial oil change.
Drain oil and then open top cover and fill oil until it reaches the 3/4 mark on the oil level indicator. The bearings should be completely immersed
in oil.
Apron lubrication point (4). The apron is filled with Shell Tellus 32 through the filling plug on the side of the apron. Oil level should be checked
regularly. Change oil after the first 3 months and once every year after.
Gear Change lubrication point (3). Lubricate the change gears with thick machine oil or grease once a month.
A light oil should be used on the bedway and all other reflective parts like the tailstock quill.
