3. Remove sanding dust with tack rags or
compressed air and, with lathe turned off, apply
first coat of finish. Let stand for several minutes,
wipe off excess. Allow to dry before sanding
again with 320 or 400 grit sandpaper.
4. Turn lathe back on and continue the separation
cut almost all the way through the base. Stop at
about 3" and use a small fine tooth saw to
separate the bowl from the waste.
5. Apply second finish coat and allow to dry before
buffing.

11.0 User-maintenance

Before doing maintenance on
the Lathe, disconnect it from the electrical
supply by pulling out the plug or switching off
the main switch. Failure to comply may cause
serious injury.
Maintenance on the 3520C Lathe should be
performed at periodic intervals to ensure that the
machine is in proper working order, that all fasteners
are tight, and all necessary adjustments have been
made. Inspection and maintenance should be
performed at least twice a year, but more frequently
if the Lathe receives constant use.
Clean and oil the lathe bed so that headstock,
tailstock and tool support base will slide easily.
Clean any rust spots that may develop on the bed
with a commercial rust remover.
Use compressed air or a vacuum in the headstock
interior, in order to keep sawdust and chips from
accumulating on belts and sheaves. Also blow off
debris that accumulates on the inverter. Do not
disassemble inverter to clean!
Frequently clean out the Morse tapers on both
headstock and tailstock. Commercially available
taper cleaners may be acquired from tool stores.

11.1 Additional servicing

Any other servicing should be performed by an
