Shop Preparation
Space Requirement
The dimensions of this machine are 61-3/4" (L) x 19-1/2"
(D). You need additional space for manipulating your
workpiece and accessing the back of the lathe.
Load Limits
This machine has a shipping weight of 520 lbs. and a net
weight of 415 lbs. The optional outboard turning banjo adds
additional weight. Please ensure all lifting tools and building
structures have adequate load capacity for transporting and
supporting the total weight of this machine, the operator,
and related items.
Electricals
Ensure a properly sized circuit and an electrical terminal are available near the machine. If the machine is
to be hardwired, there must be a readily accessible power disconnect nearby so that the machine can be
disconnected from the power source for service and adjustments. If the machine is to be connected with
a cord and a plug, please ensure a matching outlet is installed near the machine.
Please refer to the “ Electricals ” section in this manual for details regarding electrical requirements.
Lighting
Operate this machine with adequate overhead non-glare lighting. Use supplemental lighting to illuminate
portions of the workpiece not reachable by overhead lighting.
Safety Labels
If this machine introduces new safety hazards to your workplace, display proper warning signs in highly
visible locations.
Dust Exposure Reduction
Turning and sanding wood on a lathe can produce a lot of wood dust and shavings. Wood dust created by
this lathe is a health hazard. Use a dust collection system to reduce wood dust entering the environment.
Adding a screen on the dust hood can prevent large shavings from entering and jamming the dust
collection system. Check air suction regularly to ensure the dust collection system is working effectively.
Dust masks should be available for using the lathe.
Humidity Control
If the machine is to be placed in a high-humidity area, install a dehumidifier to keep the humidity low.
Unpainted parts of machines can rust and bind with other parts in a high-humidity environment. Having
a humidity control workspace also prevents wood from getting mold, rot, and bug infestation.
