VIII. Maintenance
1. Blow out any dust that accumulates inside the motor, the housing, and the bed assembly
on a regular basis. If the tailstock has been used as a guide for drilling through the centre
of a workpiece, blow the sawdust or shavings out of the centre of both spindles.
2. Apply a coat of automotive wax to the bed in order to help keep the surface clean and to
facilitate the movement of the tool rest and tailstock.
3. Lubricate the spring levers and other threaded parts periodically in order to make these
parts easier to operate.
WARNING: FOR SAFETY REASONS, TURN THE SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION AND
REMOVE THE PLUG FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
MAINTENANCE WORK OR LUBRICATING THE LATHE.
