• Examine the line cord to make sure that the plug is in good
condition and that the insulation has not been damaged dur-
ing transit.
Refer to Figures 7-12.
MOUNTING LATHE TO BENCH
• Position the lathe assembly on top of a suitable stand or
bench. The headstock end should be close enough to a
side edge so that outboard operations can be performed
without difficulty.
• Verify that the bed is resting flat on the bench top. Mark
the mounting hole locations using the holes in the bed as a
guide. Move the lathe and drill four 3/8"holes through the
bench top. Place the lathe back in position and feed four
5/_Gx 2" carriage bolts through the holes in the bed. Secure
from underneath with flat washers, lock washers, and hex
nuts (not supplied).

STABILITY OF WOOD LATHE
If there is any tendency for the lathe to tip over or move dur-
ing certain cutting operations, such as cutting extremely
heavy pieces or long, out-of-round objects, the lathe should
be bolted down.
LOCATION OF WOOD LATHE
The lathe should be positioned so that neither the operator
nor a casual observer is forced to stand in line with the spin-
ning chuck.
