Mounting The Lathe; Starting Procedure - Clarke Metalworker CL250M Operating & Maintenance Manual

B. MOUNTING THE LATHE
The lathe should be mounted on a strong, heavy workbench, of sufficient height
so that you do not need to bend your back to perform normal operations. Take the
necessary precautions when moving the lathe considering its' weight. Assistance
will be required.
Ensure the location is adequately lit and that you will not be working in your own shadow.
We strongly recommend
that the machine is bolted
firmly to a strong workbench
using the 3, M5 tapped
holes provided,
Drill three, 8mm clearance
holes in a worktop, at the
dimensions shown in Fig.3.
and with appropriate length
bolts, or screws, with flat
washers, (not supplied)
proceed to secure the lathe
to the worktop.
Alternatively, if you do not wish for a permanent installation, you may secure the
lathe to a plywood board with a minimum thickness of 16mm (5/8") and a minimum
recommended dimension of 750 x 300mm, the mounting holes being centralised
on the board.
When the lathe is in use, the board MUST be clamped to a workbench using 'G'
clamps.
