ASSEMBLY

WARNING:

 To prevent injury from accidental operation, make sure the tool is switched OFF and un-

plugged from the power source before assembling or making any adjustments.

REMOVING THE ANTI-RUST GREASE

The lathe bed and centers have been coated with grease to prevent them from rusting. 
1. Remove the excess oil and grease by wiping it off with a clean cloth. 
2. Remove any residue with a rag moistened with acetone, kerosene, or other removal agent. Wear gloves to protect 

your skin. Do not use gasoline, or cellulose-based solvents such as paint thinner or lacquer thinner, as these will 

damage the painted surfaces.
3. Apply a light coat of good-quality paste wax to the surfaces to guard against rust and corrosion.
