KNOW YOUR MICROLUX WOOD LATHE
WARNING! To avoid injury from accidental starting turn the switch OFF
and remove the plug from the power source receptacle before making any adjustments.
INSTALLATION OF LOCKING LEVERS
Item #11 is the long locking lever provided and #16 is the shorter locking lever. When installing #16, there is a slot on the tailstock sleeve
that the tip of #16 needs to be inserted for proper operation. If you wind out the sleeve by rotating the #15 knob you will see this slot mentioned.
You can also view it by peering into the hole where #16 is threaded into. During turning operation, it keeps the sleeve from rotating.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING! The lathe must be bolted to
the bench top OR an alternative platform that
can be clamped to your bench. Operating
a lathe that is not bolted down may result in
serious injury
.
Mark three hole centers as shown.
Drill clearance holes through the platform.
Position the lathe on top. Install the bolts with
washers (not included with the lathe) from under-
neath the top into the tapped holes in the bottom
of the lathe frame. The threaded holes in the base
are M8 – 1.25 pitch. To secure properly, the bolts
should extend at least ½” into the threaded holes.
