Daily after use:
•Clean wood shavings away from the lathe bed and tool rest.
•Smear a light coat of wax (Protec Tool Wax Polish, Order no. 211835 ) over the lathe bed to allow
the Banjo and Tailstock to run more smoothly over the bed and to prevent corrosion.
Monthly:
•Check the tension of the belt and adjust, (See pages 11 & 12 for Changing the Belt Speed).
•Check any build up of wood shaving on the motor and spindle pulley's and clean if necessarily.
• Using an airline, blow out the motor's air vent.
Note: If the lathe is not going to be used for a period of time, smear a light
coat of wax over the bed and place a dust sheet (Order no. 600410), over the
lathe.
