W1758 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 3/10)
This lathe distributes a heavy
load in a small footprint. Some residential
floors may require additional bracing to
support both machine and operator.
Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be
processed through the machine, and space
for auxiliary stands, work tables or other
machinery when establishing a location for
your wood lathe.
Lighting should be bright enough
to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.
Electrical circuits must be
dedicated or large enough to handle
amperage requirements. Outlets must be
located near each machine, so power or
extension cords are clear of high-traffic
areas. Follow local electrical codes for
proper installation of new lighting, outlets,
or circuits.
The table and other unpainted parts of your
machine type are coated with a waxy grease
that protects them from corrosion during ship-
ment. Clean this grease off with a solvent clean-
er or citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlo-
rine-based solvents such as brake parts cleaner
or acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a
painted surface, you will ruin the finish.
