SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY

Pre-assemblyStand

Assembly of the G1495 is straightforward. We have organized the assembly process into steps. Please follow them in sequence.

Tools Required: Only a few common tools are needed to assemble this machine. Specifically, two 12mm open end wrenches, a 6mm Allen® wrench (supplied), a Phillips® screwdriver and a plumb bob.

All die-cut metal parts have a sharp edge (called “flashing”) on them after they are formed. This is generally removed at the fac- tory. Sometimes a bit of flashing might escape inspection, and the sharp edge may cause cuts or lacerations when handled. Please examine the edges of all die-cut metal parts and file or sand the edge to remove the flashing before handling.

The stand components are most easily assembled on their sides, then stood up and joined together:

1.Attach the two base brackets to the base of the cabinet using four (4) 5⁄16'' - 18 x 3⁄4'' bolts and nuts. Use two (2) washers for each bolt, one under the head of the bolt, one next to the nut. These brackets are used when the lathe is going to be bolted to the floor or other type of support structure. See Figure 4.
