General Cleaning

Clean your machine every day or more often as needed. Make sure to unplug the lathe before cleaning it. Never blow the lathe off with compressed air, otherwise you will force metal shavings deep into mechanisms. Remove chips as they accumulate with rags, brushes, and a shop vacuum. Chips left on the lathe soaked with water-based coolant will eventually invite oxidation and a gummy residue build up around moving parts. Cleaning will help keep your lathe running smoothly. Always be safe and responsible with the use and disposal of cleaning prod- ucts.

Never use acetone, gasoline, or lacquer thinner to remove stains or oil from painted surfaces. These chemi- cals will melt the paint. Use mineral spirits or mild household degreasers.

General Lubrication

Wipe the bed ways and other unpainted machine surfaces as required with a machine oil to prevent rust. Paint all gears shown in =`^li\42 with a good quality automotive wheel bearing grease, and paint the lead screw lightly with the same grease.
