Important Notes

Please take some time to read the section entitled ‘Illustration 
and Description’ to identify the various parts of your machine so 
that you are familiar with the terminology we will use to 
enable you to set up and operate your table lathe safely and 
correctly. 
 
The lathe and its accessories will arrive coated with corrosion 
preventative grease. This will need to be cleaned from the 
lathe, its components and accessories prior to it being set up.   
Wearing overalls and rubber gloves is advisable, as is eye 
protection. After cleaning, lightly coat the machine with a 
thin layer of light wax. 

WARNING: THE WOOD LATHE IS A HEAVY 
MACHINE, IT IS ADVISABLE TO USE A LIFTING 
DEVICE SUCH AS A HOIST, SCISSOR LIFT OR 
SEEK HELP WHEN ASSEMBLING THE LATHE.

UNPACK YOUR NEW PRECISION PRO
LATHE AND RECYCLE THE PACKAGING
RESPONSIBLY. THE CARDBOARD 
PACKAGING IS BIODEGRADABLE.

PLEASE NOTE: The Precision Pro Lathe comes 90%
assembled. In order to reduce the footprint of the machine 
for packaging, several items are dismounted from the 
machine and need to be re-affixed. Please check all the 
boxes, packets etc. to make sure that all the parts have been 
accounted for.

on its side and screw each threaded foot into the four threaded 
holes to each corner of the lathe bed, see fig 01-02.

2. Place the lathe (A) assembly on top of a flat stable surface, 
such as a workbench, see fig 03.
