SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious person- al injury.

For optimum performance from your machine, follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instructions given in this section.

Daily Check:

•Loose mounting bolts.

•Worn or damaged wires.

•Worn control panel buttons or dials.

•Any other unsafe condition.

•Lubricate tailstock, inboard tool rest, outboard tool rest, and spur and live centers.

Weekly Maintenance:

•Clean off dust buildup.

•Clean and lubricate lathe bed and tailstock.

Monthly Check:

•Belt tension, damage, or wear.

•Clean out dust buildup from inside belt pulley cavity and off of motor.

Annually:

•Re-check the bedways for being level side- to-side and front-to-back.

Model G0694 (Mfg. Since 1/09)

Cleaning

Cleaning the Model G0694 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 dissolving cleaner to remove it. Treat all unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning.

Lathe Bed

Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the lathe bed by wiping the bed clean after every use—this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces.

Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of products like G96® Gun Treatment, SLIPIT®, or Boeshield® T-9.

Spindle Bearing

Lubrication

The tapered roller bearings on the G0694 spindle are pre-lubricated by the factory, but they will require re-lubrication over time. After the first year of use, clean and lubricate the spindle bearings, and thereafter repeat every two years. If the lathe is to be used daily, clean and re-lubricate bearings annually. The spindle bearings are located on the outboard and inboard side of the headstock.
