7.0 Setup and assembly
Open shipping container and check for shipping
damage. Report any damage immediately to your
distributor and shipping agent. Do not discard any
shipping material until the Lathe is assembled and
running properly.
Compare the contents of your container with the
following parts list to make sure all parts are intact.
Missing parts, if any, should be reported to your
distributor. Read the instruction manual thoroughly
for assembly, maintenance and safety instructions.

Tools required for assembly:
3/16” hex key (“Allen” wrench)
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.
7.2 Mounting lathe to stand/table
For effective and safe operation, the lathe must be
mounted to the optional stand (see section 14.0) or
a work table, using the four threaded holes in its
base (5/16-18 UNC threads). See section 6.1 for
correct spacing of the holes to be drilled in the
worktable.
7.3 Installing tool caddies
Referring to Figure 4:
1. Mount a tool caddy to each end of lathe with
two 5/16 x 1/2 button head screws.
Figure 4
7.4 Installing/removing face plate
Referring to Figure 5:
1. Make sure the two setscrews in the faceplate
have been backed out (3 mm hex key).
2. Push in spindle lock (A) and rotate spindle
using handwheel, until spindle lock engages.
Continue holding spindle lock in place.
3. Mount face plate by screwing it clockwise as
far as it will go onto spindle threads.
4. Tighten the two set screws (B).
5. Release spindle lock.
If you will be operating lathe
in reverse, make sure both setscrews in
faceplate (or chuck, or other accessory) are
tight. Failure to comply can cause the faceplate
to loosen, and may result in serious injury.
