Use and Care Manual

TO ASSEMBLE

Attach the plastic handles to the rims of the manual feed and tailstock feed handwheels respectively. Ensure the

nuts are tight and the handles spin freely about the bolts without excessive end play.

The carriage, cross-slide and compound slide adjustments are all factory set to ensure smooth movement in both

directions. However the adjustments may have been misalligned during transportation. This will be indiciated by

stiff or erratic movement. Refer to “Settings and Adjustments” for methods of adjusting.

All hex keys and spanners necessary to carry out various adjustments are supplied together with a chuck key for

the 3-jaw chuck and a spare fuse. The fuse holder is located on the main control panel.

The four rubber feet are attached to the underside of the bed, using the four M6 pan head screws in the tapped

holes provided. These screws are also used to secure the hip tray. We strongly recommend that to provide maxi-

mum stability and safety, users should secure the lathe to a firm foundation as described under “Mounting the

Lathe” below.

Carefully unpack the lathe and all its parts. Compare against the list below. Do not discard the carton or any

packaging until the lathe is completely assembled.
