FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

FOREWORD

The Delta 46-756 16” adjustable speed wood lathes is a big capacity machine, designed for industry, commercial shops, and schools, or wherever a demand exists for continued accuracy and long life through safe, heavy-duty oper- ation.

UNPACKING AND CLEANING

Carefully unpack the tool and all loose items from the shipping container(s). Remove the protective coating from all unpainted surfaces, especially on the bottom side of the bedways, the clamp plates under the headstock, the tool rest base, and the tailstock. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene (do not use acetone, gasoline or lacquer thinner for this purpose). After cleaning, cover the top surface of the bed with a good quality paste wax.

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT CONNECT THE TOOL TO THE POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE TOOL IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED, AND YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE OWNER’S MANUAL.
