LUBRICATING UNPROTECTED AREAS
Using an oiled brush, coat areas like the drive screw, the sliders, the cast iron bench...
BEFORE USE
Always let the lathe run under no load for 5 to 10 minutes so that the gearbox gears
can become lubricated
MAINTENANCE
During use, the lathe must receive regular maintenance to avoid impacting its produc-
tivity or its service life. After the first 20 days in service, drain the gearbox oil (using a
syringe not supplied). The oil is filled using the filter cap located on the top of the mo-
tor. The visual level indicator is located under the chuck (it must always be kept on the
halfway mark). Subsequently, oil changes should be made approximately every three
months (depending on frequency of use). Before starting a working session, lubricate
the machine in line with its lubrication requirements. WARNING: The oil level in the
chuck gear box must be checked regularly.
