1 9 MACHI NE CARE AND MAI TENANCE
Lathes are highly accurate machine tool designed to operate around the clock if properly operated
and maintained. Lathes must be lubricated and checked for adjustment before operation. Im-
proper lubrication or loose nuts and bolts can cause excessive wear and dangerous operating
conditions.
1. The lathe ways are precision ground surfaces and must not be used as table for other tools
and should be kept clean of grit and dirt.
2. The lead screw and gears should be checked frequently for any metal chips that could be
lodged in the gearing mechanisms.
3. Check the lathe prior to operation for any missing parts or broken shear pins. Refer to the
manual before attempting to lift the lathe.
4. Newly installed lathe should be properly leveled before any operation to prevent vibration and
wobble.
5. When the lathe is transported out of a normal shop environment should be protected from
dust, excessive heat, and very cold conditions.
6. Change the lubricant frequently if working in dusty conditions.
7. In hot working areas, use care to avoid overheating the motor of damaging any seals.
8. Operate the lathe at slower speeds than normal when working in cold environments.
9. Lubricate all slide ways lightly before every using. The change gears and the leads crew must
also be lightly lubricated with lithium base grease.
10. During the operation, the chips which falls onto the sliding surface should be cleaned timely,
and the inspection should be often made to prevent chips falling into the position between
the machine tool saddle and lathe bed guide way. Asphalt felt should be cleaned at certain
time.
11. After the operation every day, eliminate all the chips and clean different part of the machine
tool and apply machine tool oil to prevent rusting.
12. In order to maintain the machining accuracy, take care of the center, the surface of the ma-
chine tool for the chuck and the guide way and avoid mechanical damage and the wear due
to improper guide.
13. If the damage is found, the maintenance should be done immediately.
ATTENTI ON: before performing any checking, repairing or maintenance operation, switch off the
main switch and make an additional check to ensure that the machine is not under voltage.
Oil, grease and cleaning agents are pollutants and must not be disposed of through the drains or
in normal refuse Dispose of those agents in accordance with current legal requirements on the
environment. Cleaning rags impregnated with oil, grease and cleaning agents are easily inflam-
mable. Collect cleaning rags or cleaning wool in a suitable closed vessel and dispose of them in an
environmentally sound way-do not put them with normal refuse!
