ASSEMBLY
FIG. 6
INSTALL THE LATHE BED ONTO THE LEGS
1. Position the two Legs (O) approximately 44” (1118mm)
apart measuring from the outside edges. Be sure that the
shelf brackets on the legs are facing inward, towards each
other. Figure 4.
2. Secure the Tailstock (E), and Tool Rest Base (D) assem-
blies to the Lathe Bed (F) by tightening their locking Lever
Handles. See page 20 of this manual on how to make
adjustments if needed.
3. With assistance from 4 or more friends, a hoist or fork
lift, lift up the lathe bed assembly and carefully position it
onto the stand legs to align the 6 bolt holes. NOTE:
Lift the lathe body by the underside of the
bed only, not by the motor, headstock, tailstock, or tool rest
assemblies. Prevent the lathe from tipping, as the head-
stock end is extremely heavy.
T
he Inverter box (A)is attached to the Head-
stock (C) and Switch Box (G) with wires, so extreme care
must be taken to secure the inverter and Switch Box when
handling the lathe bed assembly for attaching it onto the
legs.
4. Secure the lathe bed to the stand legs with the six
Washers, Spring Lock Washers and Hex Head Bolts (I).
Use the 8mm hex wrench provided. Figure 6 shows 3 bolts
securing the legs to the tailstock end of the lathe bed.
5. Attach the Inverter Box Assembly (A) to the inside of the
left leg under the headstock with the 2 bolts (J) and 5mm
hex wrench provided. Fig. 7.
6. The lathe can now be moved into its final location for
turning. If previously removed (step 2 above), install the
tool rest and tailstock back onto the lathe bed. Reverse the
process as described in the Step 2 NOTE above.
7. If the legs were assembled with the optional Adjustable
Feet (see page 10), the feet can now be set. Adjust the
bottom nut(s), page 10 Fig. 3C, that are right under the
bottom of the foot to set your desired spindle height and to
level the lathe. Once set, then tighten the top nuts, Fig. 3A,
to secure the feet in position.
NOTE:
To lighten the weight of the bed assembly, the
tailstock and tool rest base assembly can be removed
from the lathe.
- At the right end of the Bed, with a 5mm hex wrench
loosen the Bolt (#11C) so that the offset Stop Washer
(#10C) swivels down below the bed surface. Fig. 5.
- Loosen the Tailstock Handle (#25A), and slide the
tailstock assembly off of the lathe end.
- Loosen the Tool Rest Base Handle (#3A), and slide
the tool rest base assembly off of the lathe end.
