12. Maintenance

Cleaning the Machine
Avoid build up of wood shavings and dust by regularly cleaning the lathe
with a soft cloth or brush.
Adjustment of Clamping Action of the Tool Rest Holder, Tailstock
and Headstock
If movement of any of these items is unsatisfactory, either due to being too
stiff and difficult to move or too easy to move and giving inadequate locking,
the clamping action can be adjusted.
Remove the required item from the lathe bed by loosening the locking
mechanism and sliding it off the bed.
On the underside of the item is a bolt with a nylon locking nut which holds
the clamp in place, Fig 12.1 (tool rest holder illustrated).
If the clamping action is too low, turn the nut clockwise with 16 mm wrench
and re-fit the tool rest holder to the lathe.
If the clamping action is too high, turn the nut anti-clockwise and re-fit the
tool rest holder to the lathe.
Stiffness may also be caused by timber residue or other debris on the lathe
bed.
Changing the Belt
The machine must be unplugged and the power switch must be
in the OFF position when carrying out this procedure.
When replacing the belts it is recommended to change all 3 Kg
bearings at the same time as damage to them may occur during
this process. i
Open the pulley cover to access the pulley assembly inside the headstock,
Fig 12.2.
Lift the motor to its highest position to loosen the belt and lock in place
using the tension lever as shown in Fig 12.3.
Before the belt can be changed the speed sensor must be removed from
inside the headstock.
Remove the two hex head screws on the outside of the headstock using a 2.5
mm hex wrench as shown in Fig 12.4.
Carefully remove the sensor and place away from the spindles and pulleys.
Remove the belt from the motor pulley as shown in Fig 12.5.
