5. Cleaning
Before operating any controls remove the anticorrosion coating from
all slideways and the end gear train, using white spirit or kerosene.
Do not use cellulose solvents for cleaning, as they will damage
the paint finish.
Oil all bright-machined surfaces immediately after cleaning using
machine oil or slide way lubricant; use heavy oil or grease on the end
gear.
6. Installing
Locate the machine on a solid foundation, allowing sufficient area all
around for easy working and maintenance (see Foundation plan). The
lathe may be used freestanding or bolted to the foundation.
Freestanding: Position lathe on foundation and adjust each of the six
mounting feet to take equal share of the load. Then using an engineer’s
precision level on the bedways (Fig.2) adjusts the feet to level up
machine. Periodically check bed level to ensure continued lathe accuracy.
Fixed installation: Position lathe over six bolts (1/2 in. or 12mm.dia.)
set into the foundation to correspond with holes in the mounting feet;
Accurately level the machine, then tighten hold-down bolts, Re-check
bed level.
