an assistant or a hoist to help lift items.
1. Remove any screws or straps that hold the
Lathe parts to the pallet, and remove protective
wrapping. Set all boxes containing legs and
accessories to the side.
2. Before assembling legs, decrease weight on
Lathe bed: Remove stop bolt at each end of
bed, and slide off headstock, tailstock and tool
support base (Refer to sect. 8.1 for any
clarification on removing these).
Use a hoist or an assistant
to help lift items.
3. Turn lathe bed upside down on shipping pallet

4. Install legs to bed with screws and washers
(HP4/6/7, Figure 6-1). Tighten screws firmly.

5. If installing the riser blocks, mount them to the
stands with screws and washers (HP1/2/3,
Figure 6-1).
6. Screw levelers (A, Figure 6-1) into threaded
holes of riser block (or legs if riser block not
used). The levelers can be adjusted at any time

sturdy floor, and with sufficient lighting. Leave
plenty of space around the machine for
operations and routine maintenance work.
9. Exposed metal areas of the Lathe, such as bed
ways and spindles, have been factory coated
with a protectant. This should be removed with
a soft cloth and a cleaner-degreaser. Clean the
bed areas under headstock, tailstock and tool
support base. Do not use an abrasive pad, and
do not allow solvents to contact painted or
plastic areas.

tailstock and stop bolts.

6.2 Tool caddy

The tool caddy, shown in Figure 6-2, can be
mounted to left or right end of Lathe. The left end,
near headstock area, is generally preferred for
convenience. Use screws and washers (HP5/6/7) to
secure tool caddy to threaded holes in Lathe leg.
