For optimum performance from your lathe, follow
this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section. For
your convenience, an easy-to-use maintenance
chart has been included on the following page.
Ongoing
The condition of lathe components should be
carefully observed at all times to minimize the
risk of injury or machine damage. If any of the
conditions below are observed, stop the lathe
immediately, disconnect power, and correct the
condition before resuming operations:
• Loose mounting bolts or fasteners.
• Worn, frayed, cracked, or damaged wires.
• STOP button not working correctly or not
requiring you to reset it before starting the
lathe again.
• Oil level not visible in the sight glasses.
• Components damaged or malfunctioning.
Daily, Before Operations
• Check/add headstock oil (Page 52).
• Check/add gearbox oil (Page 53).
• Lubricate the bedways (Page 54).
• Clean/lubricate leadscrew (Page 54).
• Add oil to ball oilers (Page 54).

Cleaning & Protecting
Regular cleaning is one of the most important
steps in taking care of this lathe. We recommend
planning a cleaning routine into the workflow
schedule, so that adequate time is set aside to do
the job well.
Typically, the easiest way to clean swarf from the
bed ways is to use a wet/dry shop vacuum. Small
chips left over after vacuuming can be wiped up
with a lightly oiled rag. Avoid using compressed
air to blow off chips, as it may drive them more
deeply into moving surfaces and could cause
sharp chips to fly into your face or hands.
All unpainted and machined surfaces should be
wiped down daily to keep them rust free and in
top condition. This includes any surface that is
vulnerable to rust if left unprotected. Typically, a
thin film of quality way oil is all that is necessary
for protection.
