8. Lubrication of the machine
All other lubrication points are lubricated with a grease press at the designated lubrication nipples.
9. Readjusting the main spindle
The headstock is screwed to the lathe bed. The headstock contains the main spindle with two
adjustable precision tapered roller bearings.
If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
1. Open the gear cover hood by undoing the safety screw with the supplied special key
2. Undo the stud screw (1) in the setting nut (2)
3. The setting nut (2) is located at the rear end of the main spindle
4. Rotate the setting nut (2) clockwise until the bearings run free again (it must be possible to rotate
the main spindle by hand easily)
5. Tighten the stud screw (1) back up again
6. If the tapered roller bearings are set too tightly they will quickly become unusable
7. Close the gear cover hood by tightening the safety screw with the supplied special key
