8. Assembly
The machine must be unplugged and the power switch must be
in the OFF position until the machine is assembled.
The lathe must not be lifted by only one person due to its
weight. Always lift with care and hold the lathe by the bed.
Installing the Tailstock Hand Wheel Handle
Screw the hand wheel handle into the threaded hole on the rear of the
tailstock hand wheel,
Fig 8.1
, using a flat blade screwdriver.
Installing the Rubber Feet
The lathe features 4 threaded holes in the base of the casting to hold the
rubber feet, 2 at the headstock end of the lathe,
Fig 8.2
, and 2 at the
tailstock end,
Fig 8.3
. Screw each rubber foot to each corner of the lathe
as shown in
Fig 8.4
. The rubber feet feature adjusting nuts to allow the
machine to be levelled on the surface it is to be used upon.
Securing the Lathe to a Solid Work Surface or Suitable Stand
The DML250 can be used freestanding on a bench. If required, the lathe
can be attached either to a solid work surface at least 25 mm thick, or a
suitable stand, using the 4 mounting holes located at the base of the lathe
as show in
Figs 8.2
and
8.3
.
If mounting to a bench, drill holes in the work
surface using a 9 mm (5/16”) drill bit, following the measurements shown
in
Fig 8.5
.
The lathe must only be used when secured in a stable position.
Secure the lathe to the bench using M8 bolts, to match the thread size of
the mounting holes. Do not attempt to use bolts of a different size as this
may damage the thread of the mounting holes.
