OPERATION

ADJUSTING THE GIBS (FIG. I)

Although the factory setting should be fine, if you are having trouble

feeding the compound or cross slide, you may want to adjust the

gib screws. To adjust the gib you will need a 2mm and a 7mm hex

wrench. Follow these steps to adjust the gibs:

1. Turn off and unplug the lathe.

2. Loosen the three locknuts.

3. Test the sliding movement. Tighten and loosen the set screws as

necessary. The slides should move smoothly without play. Readjust

the set screws as needed.

4. Tighten the locknuts to keep the gibs set

REPLACING MOTOR BRUSHES

To replace the brushes for the lathe’s motor:

1. Turn off and unplug the lathe.

2. Remove the front and rear brush caps from the motor. One can be accessed through the hole in the front of

the bed. The other can be accessed from the back of the headstock, where the motor is exposed.

3. Pull out the motor brushes and dispose of the old ones.

4. Insert the new motor brushes. Ensure there is good contact between the new brushes and the motor commuta-

tor.

5. Reattach the brush caps.

Note: Both brushes should be replaced simultaneously.
