Warning!
Before operating this metal lathe, read this instruction
manual and familiarize yourself with the required adjustments,
operation procedures, maintenance and lubrication.
CLEANING & PREPARING LATHE BEFORE THE FIRST TEST RUN
After unpacking, remove the paper (or grease found on unpainted
ground surfaces) from the machine and using a non-volatile solvent
and a brush, remove grease.
During transport and unpacking, it is likely that debris will be present
on top of the lathe. Do not move the carriage and the tailstock until
the rest of the metal lathe (mainly the bed) has been thoroughly
cleaned.
Remove all accessories and machine parts from the tool box and
install all the handles and knobs. Fix the follow rest to the carriage
using 2 cap screws and fix the steady rest inbetween the chuck and
the carriage.
Make sure that all lubrication points and oil levels have been
inspected before putting your metal lathe into operation. See
“Lubrication Points” in the maintanance section in this manual before
operating your lathe.
