Always disconnect power
to the lathe before per
-
forming maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person
-
al injury.
Cleaning your Model H2669 Hobby Lathe is easy.
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe away remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any
wood resins have built up, use a resin dissolving
cleaner to remove them. Treat all unpainted cast
iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant after
cleaning.
Cleaning
SECTION 5: MAINTENANCE
Keep a light coating of lubricant on the lathe bed
track at all times. Doing so will prolong the work
-
ing life of all assemblies that are repositioned
frequently.
Additionally, keep a light coating of lubricant on
the threads of all adjusting screws, bolts, and
nuts. Doing this will make adjustments easier and
extend the life of the fasteners.
Your Grizzly catalog features many lubricants and
cleaning agents specifically selected for use with
Grizzly tools and machines.
