shipping material until the Lathe is assembled and
running properly.

6.3 Tools required for assembly
8mm hex key (“Allen wrench”)
The Lathe must be discon-
nected from power during assembly. Use an
assistant or a hoist to help lift items.
1. Remove any screws or straps that hold the
Lathe parts to the pallet, and remove protective
wrapping. Set all boxes containing accessories
to the side.
2. The Lathe should be located in a dry area, on a
sturdy bench or the Powermatic accessory
stand (#1792014S), and with sufficient lighting.
Leave plenty of space around the machine for
operations and routine maintenance work.
(If the accessory stand was purchased, refer to
the assembly instructions that accompany it.)
3. Exposed metal areas of the Lathe, such as bed
ways and spindles, have been factory coated
with a protectant. This should be removed with
a soft cloth and a cleaner-degreaser. Clean the
bed areas under headstock, tailstock and tool
support base. Do not use an abrasive pad, and
do not allow solvents to contact painted or
plastic areas.
4. Apply a light coat of SAE10 oil to the exposed
metal areas to impede rust.
6.4 Tool caddy
The tool caddy may be mounted to the lathe bed
with the provided screws and washers. See Figure
5-1.
6.5 #6294755 Bed extension
(OPTIONAL)
If you did not purchase the optional 13-inch bed
extension, proceed to sect. 6.6.
To mount bed extension to Lathe:
1. Slide tailstock away from edge of bed, and
unscrew stud (A, Figure 6-2).
2. Have an assistant hold bed extension flush to
end of Lathe bed, and insert four 3/8 x 1-3/4
socket head cap screws with lock washers and
flat washers (provided with extension bed)
through holes in bed extension into threaded
holes on Lathe (8mm hex wrench). Make
screws snug but do not fully tighten. See Figure
6-2.
3. Adjust extension bed to lathe bed, aligning top
surface and inside ways as closely as possible.
Make screws snug but
do not fully tighten yet .
4. Slide tailstock over joint where beds meet, so
that clamping nut is centered over joint, as
shown in Figure 6-2. Firmly tighten tailstock
clamping handle; this will align the beds.
