Preparation Overview Required for Setup

The items listed below are required to 

successfully set up and prepare this lathe for 

operation.

For Lifting

•  A forklift or other power lifting device rated 

for the weight of the lathe.

• Lifting 

slings (rated for at least 750 lbs. 

each).

For Power Connection

•  A power source that meets the minimum 

circuit requirements for this lathe. (Refer to 

Power Supply Requirements section for 

details.)

•  A qualified electrician to ensure a safe and 

code-compliant connection to the power 

source.

For Assembly

•  Cotton Rags 

•  Mineral Spirits 

•  Safety Glasses 

•  Quality Metal Protectant Oil

•  Workbench/Stand Mounting Hardware (As 

Needed)

•  Precision Level

The purpose of the preparation section is to help 

you prepare your lathe for operation. The list 

below outlines the basic process. Specific steps 

for each of these points will be covered in detail 

later in this section.

The typical preparation process is as follows:

1.

 Unpack 

lathe and inventory contents of the 

box/crate.

2.

 Clean 

lathe and its components.

3.

  Identify an acceptable location for lathe and 

move it to that location.

4.

 Level 

lathe and either bolt it to workbench or 

stand.

5.

  Assemble loose components and make any 

necessary adjustments or inspections to 

ensure lathe is ready for operation.

6.  Ensure headstock and quick-change gearbox 

are properly lubricated.

7.

 Connect 

lathe to power source.

8.

  Test run lathe to make sure it functions 

properly and is ready for operation.
