GENERAL ASSEMBLY - INSTRUCTIONS
Mounting:
Before assembly, the lathe can be permanently attached to a work surface by inserting screws through the holes in the
base. Be sure to position the tool so that there is an open space directly beneath the motor to prevent shavings from
building up and fouling the motor fan housing. For general tabletop work (portable), install the (4) rubber feet (21)
Control Box:
Align the control box with the threaded holes on the tail stock side of the
lathe. Insert the two screws through the hinge plate and into the corre-
sponding holes on the lathe body.
Tool Caddy:
Using the two pan head screws, install the tool caddy on the rear of the lathe.
