Warning
Check if the hoisting capacity of the installation and cables is sufficient to safely hoist and
move the machine.
Note
Protect the surface of the machine against damage by putting soft material between the
cables and the machine surface.
4.2 Cleaning the machine before use
All uncovered machine parts are covered with a layer of grease to avoid rust. Remove this layer with a soft
cloth with kerosene before the machine is used for the first time.
Use machine oil or grease to lubricate the slide ways.
Warning
Never use a detergent which will damage the paint.

To ensure an easy and precise operation of the lathe, it is absolutely necessary to place the lathe on a sturdy
foundation and to level it. Leave enough space around the machine. It is possible to attach the lathe to the
foundation.
Without anchoring:
Place the lathe on the foundation. Adjust the 6 mounting holes in the stand to divide the weight of the machine
evenly. Place a leveling instrument on the bed and adjust the machine.
With anchoring:
Place the mounting holes in the stand of the lathe over the 6 bolts (ø 12 mm), which are placed in the
foundation. Level the machine and tighten the bolts. Check again if the machine is level. Adjust, if necessary.
It is recommended to check every three months if the machine is till level, both in longitudinal as cross
direction. If the machine is not attached to a foundation, you should check more often if it is still level.
