Delta 46-700 - Unpacking and Cleaning; Assembling and Setting up Lathe.5

UNPACKING AND CLEANING
Your new Wood Lathe is shipped complete in one carton. Carefully unpack the wood lathe and
all loose items from the carton. Remove the protective coating from the lathe bed and all unpainted
parts. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene (do not use acetone,
gasoline, or lacquer thinner for this purpose). After cleaning cover the lathe bed with a good quality
paste wax.
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT CONNECT THE LATHE TO THE POWER
SOURCE UNTIL THE MACHINE IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND YOU HAVE READ AND
UNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE OWNERS MANUAL.
