After each copying session, wipe the lathe and Copy Attachment with a clean cloth to remove accumulated chips and sawdust.
1.Apply a light spray lubricant to the longitu- dinal and crossfeed gears.
2.To prevent rust and corrosion, apply an occasional coating of carnauba paste wax to the bed and other
3.Above all else, keep the entire Copy Attachment, as well as the wood lathe, clean and free of accumulated dirt and grime that could impede free movement of the carriage, cutter, stylus or other working parts.
Never allow visitors into your shop while assembling, operating, or maintaining tools and machinery. Keep your shop
After extended use, particularly with hardwoods or woods with large amounts of oil or resins, the cutter may become dull.
When you notice that the cutter seems to be working abnormally hard while cutting, or if over- heating or frequent gouging and chipping occur, you will need to either sharpen or replace the cut- ting tool. Loosen the collar setscrew and remove the tool, and sharpen or replace as needed.
Cutting tools will become very hot when in use. Use care when removing a cutting tool which has just been used. It can still be extremely hot and cause painful burns. Wear gloves, or wait for the tool to cool down before removing or adjusting.
