The woodturning lathe has little maintenance, but

it is advised to do the following checks to keep the

lathe in good working order.

After every use

• Clean wood shavings away from the lathe bed and

tool rest

• Smear a light coat of wax (Protec Tool Wax Polish,

Code. 211835) over the lathe bed to allow the Banjo

and Tailstock to run smoothly over the lathe bed and

to prevent corrosion.

NOTE: If the lathe not going to be used for a period of time, smear a light coat of

wax over the lathe bed and place a dust sheet over the lathe.

Reposition the belt, making sure the groves in the

belt slot into the groves in the pulleys. Pull/push

the motor assembly until the belt is under tension,

retighten the motor locking handle (a). (See figure

27)

Close the pulley access panel and replace the Hex

screw.

Monthly check

• Check the tension of the belt and adjust, see

previous page for changing the belt speed.

• Check any build up of wood shaving on the motor

and spindle pulley's and clean if necessarily.

• Using a airline, blow out the motor's air vents.

NOTE: Always use a dust mask and eye protection
