UNPACKING, ASSEMBLY, AND SET UP.
Basic assembly and adjustment of your new lathe was completed before being shipped.
Final assembly and adjustments must be made before operating your new lathe.
First find a suitable location for your lathe.
The floor or work table which you place your
lathe on must be level, solid, and resistant to
vibration.
Your lathe should be positioned in an area which
is protected from the weather, especially water
and moisture.
You should provide good light to work in, and
adequate space to operate and maintain the
machine, as well as to handle work materials which will be loaded in the machine.
You will need an appropriate power supply to operate the machine, which requires 220
V~, 60 Hz, single phase current, and must be protected by a suitable circuit breaker.
WARNING: Consult a licensed electrician if you are not completely sure that your power
supply is correct and safe.
Complete Assembly.
You will have to assemble the lathe onto the oil tray
(FF) and then onto a bench top (not included) or
metal stand.
Please note: The bench top must be able to with-
stand the weight of the Lathe (838 lb.) as well as
the weight of the workpiece. Do not exceed the
maximum weight capacity of 1320 lb.
If you choose to use a metal stand with this
Lathe, the only Stand that will fit with this Lathe
is SKU 95647 (sold separately).
Check to be sure that the bench is level and stable on the shop floor. If you need to repair
the floor, do it now to be sure you have a solid, level surface to mount the machine.
Once the work bench is positioned properly on a solid level floor, place the oil tray (FF)
on the bench. Using the mounting holes on the oil tray (FF) as reference, drill match-
ing 1/2” holes into the wood bench. Always check to make sure no obstructions are in
the drilling path.
Place the angled iron levelers between the oil tray (FF) and the bench top. Check the
level and position of the bench top again to be sure that when the Lathe is positioned
on the bench and oil tray (FF) it will be level, solid and aligned with the mounting holes
in the bench and tray.
Using a drill and other hardware (not included) bolt the work bench to the floor before
putting Lathe on the workbench to keep the bench and Lathe in place during use.
