General

Regular periodic maintenance on your
Model W1752 will ensure its optimum performance. Make
a habit of inspecting your machine each time you use it.
Check for the following conditions and repair or
replace when necessary:
Daily Check:
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Worn or damaged wires.
• Worn switch
• Any other unsafe condition.
Monthly Check:
• Belt tension, damage, or wear.
• Clean/vacuum dust buildup off of motor.

Cleaning

Cleaning the Model W1752 is relatively easy. Vacuum excess
wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust
with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resin dis-
solving cleaner to remove it.

Unpainted Cast Iron

Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the lathe by
wiping them clean after every use—this ensures moisture
from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces.
Keep the bed rust-free with regular applications of quality
metal protectant products.

dure on Page 16.
