Site Considerations

Floor Load
Your lathe/mill is a heavy load (1200 lbs.) distribut-
ed in a small footprint. Place this machine on con-
crete floors only. The floor MUST be level, or the
lathe/mill frame and ways may distort over time.
Placement Location
Consider existing and anticipated needs, ser-
vice panel access, length of rods to be load-
ed into the lathe/mill, and space for auxil-
iary stands, work tables or other machinery
when establishing a location for your lathe/mill
(see Figure 5 for minimum wall clearances).
Unsupervised children and
visitors inside your shop
could cause serious per-
sonal injury to themselves.
Lock all entrances to the
shop when you are away and
DO NOT allow unsupervised
children or visitors in your
shop at any time!

Clean Up

The ways and other unpainted parts of your lathe/
mill are coated with a waxy grease that protects
them from corrosion during shipment. Clean this
grease off with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based
degreaser. DO NOT use chlorine-based sol-
vents such as brake parts cleaner, lacquer thin-
ner, or acetone—if you happen to splash some
onto a painted surface, you will ruin the finish.
Gasoline and petroleum
products ignite easily.
DO NOT use gasoline or
petroleum products to
clean the machinery.
Many of the solvents
commonly used to clean
machinery can be toxic
when inhaled or ingest-
ed. Lack of ventilation
while using these sol-
vents could cause seri-
ous personal health risks
or fire. Take precautions
from this hazard by only
using cleaning solvents
in a well ventilated area.
