HOISTING & INSTALLATION
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT
SAFETY INFORMATION section
at the beginning of this manual
including all text under
subheadings therein before set
up or use of this product.
NOTE: This Lathe is about 1,058 lb.
Hoisting and installation will require
additional personnel and a proper lift-
ing device.
Designate a work area that has a 1.
clean, dry, well-lit, at, and level oor
surface capable of supporting the
Lathe, stand, workpieces, and any
additional tools and equipment. The
work area must not allow access by
children or pets to prevent injury and
distraction.
The Lathe will need to be located on 2.
a stand, or workbench, capable of
bearing the combined weight of the
Lathe and intended workpieces. The
surface must be able to withstand the
vibration generated by the Lathe dur-
ing operation.
Bolt the stand to the oor before plac-3.
ing the Lathe on the stand.

GRAVITY
4. If you will hoist the Lathe with a single
point hoist, observe the center of
gravity. To prevent damage, do not
place lifting straps across the Slides.
(See Figure A.)
Raise the Lathe slightly up from the 5.
oor surface, making sure the Lathe
is properly balanced. Then remove
the six Screws (5D), Washers (9D),
and Nuts (10D) which secure the
Lathe to its Chip Pan (8D).
Set the Chip Pan upon the stand. 6.
Use the six mounting holes in the
Chip Pan as a template to mark the
locations where six 3/8” diameter
holes will be drilled into the stand.
Temporarily remove the Chip Pan
from the stand. Then drill the six 3/8”
holes in the stand. Check to make
sure no obstructions are in the drilling
path.
Set the Chip Pan (8D) back onto the 7.
stand, aligning its six mounting holes
with the six previously drilled holes in
the stand. Lift and lower the Lathe
onto the Chip Pan, aligning its six
mounting holes with the six holes in
the Chip Pan and stand.
Use six 3/8” diameter Screws of 8.
appropriate length with Washers
and Nuts (none included) to secure
the Lathe and Chip Pan (8D) to the
stand.
The Lathe must be completely level, 9.
left-to-right and front-to-back, or the
Lathe will not rotate properly and
may become damaged. If necessary,
loosen the 3/8” diameter mounting
Screws and use angled iron level-
ers (not included) to level the Lathe.
Tighten the Screws.
Route the Power Cord to reach the 10.
work area without creating a tripping
hazard or exposing the power cord to
possible damage.
