6.3 Cleaning
Exposed metal areas of the lathe, such as bed,
spindle and quill, have been factory coated with a
protectant. This should be removed with a soft
cloth and a cleaner-degreaser. Clean the bed
areas under the headstock, tailstock and tool
support base. Do not use an abrasive pad, and do
not allow solvents to contact painted or plastic
areas.
6.4 Mounting lathe to stand/table
For effective and safe operation, the lathe must be
mounted to the optional stand (see sect. 13.0) or a
workbench, using the four threaded holes in its
base (5/16”-18 UNC threads). See sect. 6.1 for
size and spacing of holes to be drilled in the
workbench.
