Maintenance

The woodturning lathe has little maintenance, but 
it is advised to do the following checks to keep the 
lathe in good working order. 
 
After every use 
 
• Clean wood shavings away from the lathe bed and 
tool rest 
 
• Smear a light coat of wax (Protec Tool Wax Polish, 
Code. 211835) over the lathe bed to allow the Banjo 
and Tailstock to run smoothly over the lathe bed and 
to prevent corrosion. 

Monthly check 
 
• Check the tension of the belt and adjust, see 
previous page for changing the belt speed. 
 
• Check any build up of wood shaving on the motor 
and spindle pulley’s and clean if necessarily. 
 
• Using a airline, blow out the motor’s air vents.

NOTE: Always use a dust mask and eye protection 
  

NOTE: If the lathe not going to be used for a period of time, smear a light coat of 
wax over the lathe bed and place a dust sheet over the lathe.
