Machine Placement

Cleaning Machine

Floor Load: This lathe distributes a heavy load in a small footprint. Some residential floors may require additional bracing to support both machine and operator.

Working Clearances: Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of material to be processed through the machine, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a location for your wood lathe.

Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.

Electrical: Electrical circuits must be dedicated or large enough to handle amperage requirements. Outlets must be located near each machine, so power or extension cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Follow local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.

USE helpers or power lift- ing equipment to lift this lathe. Otherwise, seri- ous personal injury may occur.

MAKE your shop “child safe.” Ensure that your workplace is inaccessible to youngsters by closing and locking all entrances when you are away. NEVER allow untrained visitors in your shop when assem- bling, adjusting or operat- ing equipment.

The table and other unpainted parts of your machine type are coated with a waxy grease that protects them from corrosion during ship- ment. Clean this grease off with a solvent clean- er or citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlo- rine-based solvents such as brake parts cleaner or acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a painted surface, you will ruin the finish.

NEVER clean with gasoline or other petroleum- based solvents. Most have low flash points, which make them extremely flammable. A risk of explosion and burning exists if these products are used. Serious personal injury may occur if this warning is ignored!

ALWAYS work in well- ventilated areas far from possible ignition sources when using solvents to clean machinery. Many solvents are toxic when inhaled or ingested. Use care when disposing of waste rags and towels to be sure they DO NOT create fire or environmental hazards.
