cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak for 5–10 minutes.
3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreaser is
effective, the rust preventative will wipe off easily. If you
have a plastic paint scraper, scrape off as much as you
can first, then wipe off the rest with the rag.
4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean, then coat all
unpainted surfaces with a quality metal protectant to
prevent rust.
Additional cleaning tips
• For thorough cleaning, remove the steady rest, tool post, compound slide, and changegears.
• use a stiff brush when cleaning the threads on the leadscrew.
• Move the slides and tailstock back and forth to thoroughly clean/lubricate underneath them.
• After cleaning, wipe down the ways with a high-quality way oil.
Site considerations
Weight Load
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon which the machine
is placed will bear the weight of the machine, additional equipment that may be installed on the machine, and the
heaviest work piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the weight of the operator and any dynamic loading that
may occur when operating the machine.
Space Allocation
Consider the largest size of work piece that will be processed through this machine and provide enough space around
the machine for adequate operator material handling or the
installation of auxiliary equipment. With permanent
installations, leave enough space around the machine to
open or remove doors/covers as required by the
maintenance and service described in this manual.
See below for required space allocation.
Physical Environment
The physical environment where the machine is operated is important for safe operation and longevity of machine
components. For best results, operate this machine in a dry environment that is free from excessive moisture,
hazardous chemicals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions. Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are
