Make sure to unplug the lathe before lubrication and cleaning.

Keep the gearbox oil level at 3⁄4 full as shown by the sight glass (=`^li\*-). After break-in, change the oil in the gearbox with Mobil® DTE® Heavy-Medium or an equivalent grade of oil, then again after three months. After that, change the oil at the same time on an annual basis or more frequently if extreme machine use requires it.

For daily lubrication, use a manual oil gun with a general 10W machine oil to lubricate the 11 ball oilers. Refer to =`^li\j*.-+'for ball oiler locations. Make sure you wipe off the fittings before you oil them.

To control surface rust on machined surfaces, wipe the unprotected metal as required with a rust inhibiting oil.

Never blow the lathe off with compressed air, otherwise you will force metal shavings deep into mechanisms. Use a shop vacuum instead. Never use acetone, gasoline, or lacquer thinner to remove stains or oil from painted sur- faces. These chemicals will melt the paint. Use mineral spirits or mild household degreasers.
