3.4 NOISE LEVEL
No load Load
Sound Pressure Level < 80dB(A) < 90dB(A)
Sound Power Level < 90dB(A) < 100dB(A)
The noise levels measured are emission levels and not necessarily the safe working level. Although there is a
correlation between the emission levels and the exposure levels, this cannot be used reliably to determine whether or
not further precautions are required. The factors which affect the actual level of operator exposure include the duration
of exposure, the ambient characteristics and other sources of emission, for example, the number of machines and
other adjacent machining. The permitted exposure values may also vary from country to country. Nevertheless, this
information allows the user of the machine to better evaluate the dangers and risks.
Other factors which reduce exposure to noise are:
- correct tool choice
- tool and machine maintenance
- use of hearing protection systems (e.g. headsets, earplugs,...)
WARNING
Please use the hearing protection systems if the above mentioned noise levels
exceed 95dB(A).

TOOLS NEEDED FOR ASSEMBLY
- Slotted Screwdriver
- 13mm & 17mm or Adjustable Wrenches
- When moving the lathe, DO NOT use the headstock assembly, motor, tool rest or tailstock assembly as this may
damage the machine. Hold under the lathe’s bed to lift and move the machine.
- The lathe is supplied with rubber feet for use on a bench. To permanently mount the machine on a bench, use the four
mounting holes in lathe’s base. Remove the rubber feet and insert 1” to 1-1/4” thick spacers (washers, bushings, wood
strips) under the lathe when screwing or bolting the machine down (mounting hardware is not provided).
- For best power and safety, the lathe should be plugged directly into a dedicated grounded electrical outlet that is within
the supplied cord length of the machine. The use of an extension cord is not recommended.
