INSTALLATION
MOVING & INSTALLING THE LATHE
The lathe is VERY heavy- over 360 lbs!
A fork lift, hoist, pallet jack or additional help will
be required to assemble the machine. It is best to
assemble the machine in an open, well lit area near
where it will eventually reside.
When moving an assembled lathe, DO NOT use the
headstock assembly, motor, tool rest or tailstock as
this may damage the machine. Use a forklift, or pallet
jack under the lathe’s bed or legs to lift and move the
machine. Straps or battens placed under the lathe bed
can also be used to lift and move the machine.
1. Carefully remove the machine from the shipping pallet.
Do not push or lift the lathe by the headstock, tailstock
or tool rest assemblies as this may damage the machine.
See pages 10 - 12 for Assembly instructions for the lathe.
2. Position the machine on a solid, level foundation that
is located in an area that has ample space in front and in
back of the lathe for working and moving around the lathe.
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.
3. Align the machine so that during use, any turning debris
or kickback will not face aisles, doorways, or other work
areas that bystanders may be in. Do not locate or use the
machine in damp or wet conditions.
4. Once in place in your shop, level the machine with
shims or the optional adjustable feet. Or, if the floor is
level, secure the machine to the floor with lag screws (not
supplied). Remove the adjustable feet (if installed) and use
the holes in the bottom of the leg’s feet for this purpose.
