Assembly

Tools required for assembly

Forklift or hoist with straps/slings

14mm wrench

4mm and 8mm hex wrenches

The Lathe should be

disconnected from power during assembly.

1. Remove any screws or straps that hold the

Lathe parts to the pallet, and remove

protective wrapping.

2. The Lathe should be located in a dry area,

on a sturdy floor, and with sufficient lighting.

Leave plenty of space around the machine

for operations and routine maintenance

work.

If you have a hoist or forklift:

3. Lift the Lathe off the pallet using a forklift or

hoist, and move it to the desired location.

(Forks may need to be positioned more

toward the headstock to balance the

weight.) Proceed to step 6 to install the legs

and levelers while the Lathe is still off the

floor.

If you do NOT have a hoist or forklift:

4. If a forklift or hoist is not available, the use

of one or more assistants is mandatory. First

decrease the weight on the Lathe by

removing the headstock, tailstock and tool

support base (Refer to “Headstock and

Tailstock Movement” on page 13 for

removal instructions).

The headstock is heavy; use

caution when removing it from the lathe bed.

5. Lift the Lathe bed and set it upside down on

the floor (make sure padding/cloths have

been laid down to prevent scratching the

bed). Or, set the Lathe bed upon a table of

sufficient height to allow the legs and

levelers to be assembled, as shown in

Figure 1.

6. While the Lathe is off the floor, install the

legs to the bed using eight socket head cap

screws with eight lock washers and eight flat

washers (Figure 1). Tighten the screws

firmly with a 8mm hex wrench.

7. Screw the levelers into the threaded holes

of the legs (Figure 1). Tighten the hex nuts

against the bottom of the legs with a 14mm

wrench.
