WARNING! FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN THE SWITCH OFF AND
REMOVE THE PLUG FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING
MAINTENANCE, CLEANING OR LUBRICATION WORK ON THE LATHE.
CHANGING V-BELT
1. Undo the pan head screws which fix the belt cover to the headstock and remove
belt cover.
2. Pull the side pulley (A) Fig.16 towards the spring (B) with one hand and simply
remove the V-belt (C) from the pulleys with the other hand.
3. Install the new V-belt using the same method in step 2 above.
CLEANING / LUBRICATING
1. Blow out dust accumulation and wood chips inside the motor, housing, and bed
assembly frequently.
2. A coat of automotive wax applied to the bed will help keep the surface clean and
keep the movement of the tool rest and tailstock smooth. It will also ensure that
moisture from the wood does not remain on bare metal surfaces which can
cause rust.
3. Periodic lubrication of the spring levers and other threaded parts will make
these parts easier to operate.
