Motor Shaft Lubrication
To lubricate motor shaft:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Remove plastic cover shown in Figure 49 to
access motor shaft ball oiler.
3. Push tip of oil can nozzle against ball oiler,
then pump can once or twice. Alternatively,
if using a spray-type lubricant, place the end
of the straw against the ball oiler and give it a
quick squirt. Do not over-oil.

minute. Rotate variable-speed lever back and
forth to distribute oil.
5. Turn lathe OFF and re-install plastic cover.

The motor shaft must be properly lubricated
to ensure the variable-speed pulley assembly
can open and close smoothly when adjusted.
Any common machine oil is acceptable for this
purpose, but we recommend using a "dry" type
lubricant, such as Grizzly model G2545 or G4682,
to avoid attracting dust and prevent a build-up of
grime.
