Maintaining the Nova DVR3000
General Maintenance
Always isolate from power supply (unplug) before carrying out any maintenance
Clean the work area and Lathe. Vacuum shavings and dust from the
Headstock, Tailstock, under the Toolslide and in between the bed.
Wax exposed cast iron parts with a good quality paste wax,
especially the bed rails. Buff out the wax thoroughly.
Check tightness of nuts and bolts.
Lubricate, with one or two drops of light-weight oil, the tailstock quill
threads, index pin shaft, and the toolslide camshaft (remove plastic
plugs) and toolslide front camshaft bore.
Grease tailstock quill threads. Turn the handwheel so the quill
threads are exposed, apply grease to the threads, crank the
handwheel back and forth to work in the grease, wipe off any excess.
Lubricate the tailstock slot with one or two drops of light-weight oil.
With the power switched off and dis-connected, remove the upper-
rear guard and remove any wood dust with a vacuum cleaner. Avoid
getting the nozzle too close to the electronics. After this step dust
may fall into the Headstock so suck the dust out through the vent at
the front of the Headstock under the spindle. Replace guard.
