SETTING UP SHOPSMITH - Unpack carefully and check to see that you have all the parts listed above. Do not release any levers or
force any parts until you have read the following instructions:
Assembly of Shopsmith will be facilitated if you first clean off the rust-resisting compound with which certain parts have been
coated for shipment. Use a rag and kerosene and, after all parts have been thoroughly cleaned and wiped dry, cover all un-
painted steel surfaces with a thin film of light machine oil to prevent rusting. These surfaces, the tubular ways in particular,
should be kept lightly oiled at all times. The table, extension table, and knurled knobs are aluminum and do not require this
attention. The entire machine should be protected with a canvas or similar type cover when not in use. This protection is
especially recommended when the unit is to be installed in a basement shop.
Because Shopsmith is not a floor-type machine, a suitable base must be provided for mounting it. Shopsmith metal bench ends
are available and provide an easily constructed serviceable bench. A blueprint and instructions for making an all wood bench are
included in the envelope. The bench should be about 20 inches high; this measurement can be varied to suit individual
requirements. The bench top should be strongly constructed and reinforced. If a plywood top is used, be sure it is suitably
supported underneath. The bench need not be bolted to the floor since it may be convenient, when handling large stock or long
pieces, to shift its position.
