Assembling the Nova 3000

1. Unpack the lathe and components from the shipping container.
!
Warning!
Have other people help when moving or lifting the Nova 3000 Woodlathe; it
weighs about 66 kg (145 lb) without a motor.
2. Clean any parts coated with rust preventative with a cloth moistened with a petroleum-based solvent
or cleanser, such as paint thinner. Coat the lathe bed with paste wax.

Note: The Faceplate is not standard equipment in all countries. In some countries, a 1HP AC Motor is
also supplied with the Nova 3000 Lathe as standard equipment. Check with your reseller if you
are unsure.
3. Remove the plastic shipping tubing
from headstock base. Screw the
Headstock Lockpin into the threaded
hole at the bottom of the headstock.
Insert the operating bar into the hole in
the Lockpin and firmly tighten the
Lockpin to lock the headstock in
position; then remove the operating
bar. NOTE: When the pin is fully
engaged the groove machined into the
pin furthest from the thread should line
up with the edge of the hole in the
casting. By doing this the pin will be
engaged in the hole of the swivel pin.
4. Push the Headstock Release Handle
down and rotate the Headstock so the
spindle points to the tailstock and lines
up parallel to the lathe bed.
Note: Do not use excessive force when
tightening the Lockpin.
