MAINTENANCE
1. Before each use:
- Check the power cord and plug for any wear or damage.
- Check for any loose screws, hardware, locking handles,
jigs or various lathe accessories.
- Check the area to make sure it is clear of any misplaced
tools, lumber, cleaning supplies, etc. that could hamper the
safe operation of the machine.
2. Avoid a build-up of wood shavings and dust. Regularly
clean all parts of the machine using a soft cloth, brush or
compressed air. A general cleaning should be done after
every use to avoid future problems and ensure that the
machine is in ready condition for its next use.
WARNING:
If blowing sawdust, wear proper eye protection
to prevent debris from blowing into eyes.
Turn the power switch “OFF” and disconnect the plug from the outlet prior to adjusting or maintaining
the machine. DO NOT attempt to repair or maintain the electrical components of the motor. Contact a qualified service
technician for this type of maintenance.
3. Keep the lathe bed free of resin and rust. Clean it regu-
larly with a non-flammable solvent, then coat with a light
film of dry lubricant spray, or wax, to enhance passage of
the tool rest and tailstock on/over the bed.
4. Keep the lathe tools sharp and make sure the steel is
not loose in the handle so that no accidents might occur.
Making sure that they are in proper operating condition will
ensure that the quality of your turning will be the best pos-
sible.
5. Check all lathe accessories (spur centers, live centers,
chucks, tool rests, etc) to ensure that they are in perfect
working condition.
6. The lathe’s ball bearings are lifetime lubricated, sealed,
and do not need any further care. Keep the drive belt free
of oil and grease.
