Optional Vacuum Adapter
The vacuum adapter simply slips into the spindle on the
handwheel end.
Some lubricant on the O‐rings makes this process easier and
extends the life of the O‐rings. If you do wear out the O‐rings,
they are a common size and found at many places.
Optional Casters Set
Casters provide mobility for your lathe, making it easier to
move it around the shop. Keep in mind the following points
about casters:
Casters are for moving the machine on level
surfaces and should be removed when turning.
Casters fit loose until there is weight on them.
Use great caution on inclines. Your lathe is
heavy and it may roll away unexpectedly.
Remove casters before turning.

Dropping the Pin Through the Leg Base Hole
1.
Using the provided jack, lift one end of the lathe to
take the weight off the legs. There is a bracket on the
jack that fits into notches on the leg aprons.
2.
Pull up on the spring loaded pin on the caster bracket.
3.
Place the tab on the caster bracket into the hole in the
leg, with the pin over the hole in the foot.
4.
Release the spring loaded pin so that it drops through
the hole in the foot.
Make sure the pin is all the way through the
foot, otherwise it may be bent by the
weight of the lathe.

Install one caster on each leg base.
6.
Lower the lathe and repeat the process on the other
end.
