Working Clearances
Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of
material to be processed through each machine,
and space for auxiliary stands, work tables, or other
machinery when establishing a location for your
lathe.
Many of the solvents
commonly used to clean
machinery can be toxic
when inhaled or ingested.
Lack of ventilation while
using these solvents could
cause serious personal
health risks or fire. Take
precautions from this haz-
ard by only using cleaning
solvents in a well ventilat-
ed area.
Site Considerations
Cleanup
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil
to protect them from corrosion during shipment.
Remove this protective coating with a solvent clean-
er or citrus-based degreaser.
To clean thoroughly, some parts may need to be
removed. For optimum performance from your
machine, make sure you clean all moving parts or
sliding contact surfaces that are coated.
Avoid chlorine-based solvents as they may dam-
age painted surfaces should they come in contact.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when
using any type of cleaning product.
Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and could cause an
explosion or fire if used
to clean machinery. DO
NOT use gasoline or petro-
leum products to clean the
machinery.
The model ST1008 is a
heavy machine. DO NOT
over-exert yourself while
unpacking or moving your
machine—get assistance.
MAKE your shop “child
safe.” Ensure that your
workplace is inaccessible to
youngsters by closing and
locking all entrances when
you are away. NEVER allow
untrained visitors in your
shop when assembling,
adjusting or operating
equipment.
Lighting
Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shad-
ow and prevent eye strain.
Electrical
Electrical circuits must be dedicated or large enough
to handle amperage requirements. Outlets must be
located near each machine, so power or extension
cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Follow local elec-
trical codes for proper installation of new lighting,
outlets, or circuits.
