Use and Care Manual

MAINTENANCE
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
1. Keep your machine clean. Wood contains moisture, meaning that sawdust and wood chips can cause rust if not
removed. At the end of each work day, vacuum sawdust and clean the machine with a dry cloth or brush.
2. Periodically check that all nuts and bolts are tight.
3. Routinely check the condition of the power supply cords and replace them if they are broken, worn or if inter-
nal wires are showing.
4. If you do not intend to use the machine for a long time, clean it and store it in a dry place.
DRIVE BELT
The drive belt should last for many years depending on usage, but it needs to be inspected regularly for cracks,
cuts and general wear. If damage is found, replace the belt before operation.
BEARINGS
All bearings are sealed for life and do not require any maintenance. If a bearing becomes faulty, replace it.
RUST
The lathe is made from steel and cast iron. All non-painted surfaces will rust if not protected. It is recommended
that they are protected by applying a light coat of good-quality paste wax to the surfaces to guard against rust and
corrosion.
PRODUCT DISPOSAL
Used power tools contain recyclable materials and should not be disposed with household waste. Please take this
product to your local recycling facility for responsible disposal and to minimize its environmental impact.
