Since all bearings are shielded and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.
Lubricate the unpainted parts of the bed regu-
larly ( ) to prevent rust and ensure a
smooth sliding action from the tool post holder
and the tailstock. Your goal is to achieve ade-
quate lubrication. However, too much lubrica-
tion will attract dirt and sawdust, which may
cause these components to lose their freedom
of movement.
In addition, clean the headstock and tailstock
barrel tapers () on a regular basis.
To ensure optimum performance from your
lathe, make a habit of inspecting it before each
use.      
