TO ASSEMBLE
NOTE: Before assembling, carefully wipe off all grease and rust-protectant coating with a soft cloth. Use kerosene
to fully remove the grease and coating. Apply a light coat of good-quality paste wax to prevent rusting and ensure
ease of movement between parts.
Attach the plastic handles to the rims of the manual feed and tailstock feed handles respectively. Ensure the nuts
are tight and the handles spin freely about the bolts without excessive end play.
The carriage, cross-slide and compound slide adjustments are all factory set to ensure smooth movement in both
directions. However the adjustments may have been misaligned during transportation. This will be indicated by
stiff or erratic movement. Refer to “Settings and Adjustments” for adjustment methods.
All hex keys and wrenches necessary to carry out various adjustments are supplied together with a chuck key for
the 3-jaw chuck. The fuse socket (Fig. A) is located on the main control panel.
The four M6 pan-head screws are used to attach the chip tray and rubber feet to the tapped holes in the under-
side of the lathe body. Insert the screws through the feet, through the chip tray, and tighten in the threaded holes.
We strongly recommend that to provide maximum stability and safety, users should secure the lathe to a firm
foundation as described under “Mounting the Lathe” below.
