5.3 Unpacking and cleanup

1. Remove all smaller items from main carton. Do
not discard carton or packing material until
lathe is assembled and running satisfactorily.
2. Inspect contents for shipping damage; if any is
found, report it to your distributor.
3. Compare contents of shipping carton with the
contents list in this manual. Report shortages,
if any, to your distributor. Note: Check lathe
first – some parts may have been pre-installed.
4. Exposed metal areas of the Lathe, such as
bedways and spindles, have been factory
coated with a protectant. This should be
removed with a soft cloth and a cleaner-
degreaser. Clean
headstock, tailstock and tool support base. Do
not use an abrasive pad, and do not allow
solvents to contact painted or plastic areas.

5.4 Installing leg set

See Figures 5-2 and 5-3.
1. Install levelers into bottom of legs (Figure 5-2)
and tighten hex nut against leg casting. The
levelers can be adjusted later.
