4.Setup and Assembling the Lathe
Workshop Environment
Your workshop should set up appropriately for you to effectively use the lathe. The workshop should be setup with
the following factors taken into consideration:
1. Lathe location
Locate the NOVA Nebula lathe close to a power source in an area with good amount of lighting.
Leave enough clearance when the lathe headstock is swiveled around. Other machines in the
workshop should not interfere with the movement/operation of the lathe.
2. Lighting
The workshop should have adequate lighting. There should be enough lighting around the lathe
not to cast shadows upon the workpiece. A portable spotlight might be helpful.
3. Electrical
The NOVA Nebula lathe requires an appropriate power outlet nearby to power the motor. The
outlet wiring must meet the local electrical safety standards. If in any doubt, seek advice from
an electrician. The length of an extension cable should be reduced as must as possible.
4. Ventilation
Workshop must have an adequate level of ventilation. The level of required ventilation depends
on the size of the workshop and the amount of work that is done within the workshop. The use
of dust collectors and filters will minimize your health risk.
