ROUTINE INSPECTION
Before each use, inspect the general condition of the
tool. If any of these following conditions exist, do not
use until parts are replaced or the lathe is properly re-
paired.
Check for:
• Loose hardware,
• Misalignment or binding of moving parts,
• Damaged cord/electrical wiring,
• Cracked or broken parts, and
• Any other condition that may affect its safe operation.
CLEANING & STORAGE
1. Keep the ventilation openings free from dust and de-
bris to prevent the motor from overheating.
2. Wipe the tool surfaces clean with a clean cloth. Make
sure water does not get into the tool.
CAUTION! Most plastics are susceptible to damage
from various types of commercial solvents. Do not use
any solvents or cleaning products that could damage
the plastic parts. Some of these include but are not
limited to: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated
cleaning solvents, and household detergents that con-
tain ammonia.
3. Store the tool in a clean and dry place away from the
reach of children. Store in temperatures between 41° to
86°F.
4. Cover the Lathe in order to protect it from dust and
moisture. It is preferable to store it in its original pack-
aging with the instruction manual and all accessories.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING! To avoid accidents, turn OFF and unplug the tool from the electrical outlet before cleaning,
adjusting, or performing any maintenance work.
WARNING! Any attempt to repair or replace electrical parts on this tool may be hazardous. Servicing of the
tool must be performed by a qualified technician. When servicing, use only identical WEN replacement parts.
Use of other parts may be hazardous or induce product failure.
LUBRICATION
The bearings of your Lathe are permanently sealed and
require no extra lubrication.
DRIVE BELT
The drive belt should last for many years depending on
usage, but it needs to be inspected regularly for cracks,
cuts and general wear. If damage is found, replace the
belt before operation.
RUST
The Lathe is made from steel and cast iron. All non-
painted surfaces will rust if not protected. It is recom-
mended that they are protected by applying a light coat
of good-quality paste wax to the surfaces to guard
against rust and corrosion.
