7. Maintenance
A long lifetime of the machine will depend on the appropriate care and maintenance.
■ All maintenance and repair tasks may only be carried out with the grounded plug pulled.
■ The machine must be cleaned after each use.
■ If the machine is set up in a wet room, all exposed parts must be oiled after each use to prevent
corrosion.
■ Always lubricate all moving parts well.
■ In the event of bearing or skid play, immediately adjust in order to prevent it from destroying the
bearing or skid guide.
Approximately every 100 operating hours
Clean the carbon brushes and collector of the drive motor (1.4 kW) with a piece of coarse
sandpaper.
Remove approximately 0.1 mm from the carbon brushes, then smooth out the contact surface with
fine sandpaper.
■ Check the tension of the poly V and gear belt and adjust if necessary.
■ Check the play in the guides and feed spindles and set if necessary.
8. Lubrication of the machine
The lubrication process:
■ Reduces wear and friction
■ Increases the lifetime
■ Protects metal surfaces from corrosion
We recommend:
■ A class 2NLGI multi-purpose grease for lubrication
■ A lubrication oil with a viscosity of 100 mm

/s for oiling
The lathe is to be lubricated every 8 hours of operation in accordance with the lubrication plan. The
lubrication points
■ Both guide rods
■ The 2 dovetail guides of the tool skid (bring the skids of the tool skid in the back most position)
■ The from the bottom reachable screw spindle
■ The feed screw
■ The tailstock sleeve (bring tailstock sleeve in front position ). The lubrication of the tailstock spindle
is achieved through the hollow drilling within the sleeve.
Are lubricated with the help of an oil can and an ordinary lubrication oil by moving the skid or sleeve
backwards and forwards.
