(including LU6X Basic)
Operating Instructions
Introduction
The LU6X is one the most versatile pieces of equipment available to the lapidary enthusiast.
It combines sawing, grinding, and polishing operations in one machine. Please read the
following specifications and directions prior to using your Model LU6X.
Set-Up
Unpack the machine and check for shipping damage. If damage is found, you must notify the
carrier immediately and file a claim.
The LU6X should be mounted to a solid workbench with four 1/4" bolts or wood screws through
holes provided.
Motor Mounting
The motor is installed on the clip-on motor mount which slides directly onto the machine. A
2-1/2" motor pulley is supplied for proper shaft speed. We recommend a 1/3hp, 1725 rpm motor
(LORTONE # 300-022). A motor of at least 1/4hp is required for adequate operation.
The Model LU6X-130 comes with motor.
Install the motor on the motor mount using the bolts provided and tighten the bolts finger tight.
Slide the motor mount into place on the mounting clip on the back of the machine. Position the
motor so that the drive belt is just tight enough to eliminate belt slippage - an overly tight belt
can cause excessive bearing wear, noise or vibration. Motor rotation should be clockwise to drive
the shaft (show on next page, Fig. 1).
