Uncrating and Clean-Up
1.
Finish removing the wooden crate from around
the lathe.
2.
Unbolt the lathe from the shipping crate
bottom.
3.
Choose a location for the lathe that is dry, has
good lighting, and has enough room to service
the lathe on all four sides.
4.
Do not lift by spindle.
With adequate lifting
equipment, slowly raise the lathe off the
shipping crate bottom. Make sure lathe is
balanced before moving.
5.
To avoid twisting the bed, the lathe’s location
must be absolutely flat and level. Check for a
level condition using a machinist’s precision
level on the bed ways both front to back and
side to side. The leveling pads included in the
tool box and the leveling screw in the lathe
base will help you to reach a level condition.
The lathe must be level to be accurate.
6.
Clean all rust protected surfaces using a mild
commercial solvent, kerosene or diesel fuel.
Do not use paint thinner, gasoline, or lacquer
thinner. These will damage painted surfaces.
Cover all cleaned surfaces with a light film of
DTE

Oil Heavy Medium.

of the end gear assembly and cost all gears
