CLEANING, INSPECTION, AND MAINTENANCE

Caution:

Always disconnect the Multi-Purpose Machine from its electrical power

supply source before performing any cleaning, inspection, or maintenance.

2. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Multi-Purpose Machine.

Inspect switch, power plug and cord assembly, and extension cord (if used) for

damage. Check for loose screws, misalignment, binding of moving parts, bro-

ken, cracked parts, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If

abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn off the Multi-Purpose Machine immedi-

ately and have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use damaged

equipment.

3. Do not introduce water into the electric motor through the motor vents.

4. With a brush, soft cloth, or vacuum, remove excess metal shavings from the

Multi-Purpose Machine.

5. If necessary, wipe with a damp cloth. You may use a mild solvent.

6. Once clean, lubricate all moving parts with a light oil.

7. When storing, keep the Multi-Purpose Machine covered with a cloth cover.

CHANGING THE LATHE SPEEDS

To change the lathe speed you must first remove the Pulley Shell (36) which is

attached by the two Bottom Head Screws (35). Next you must create slack in the

V-Belt (23) by turning the Movable Joint Bolt (167) counterclockwise. Once there

is sufficient slack in the V-Belt, remove it from the two pulleys and re- position it

on different grooves on the pulleys to change the speed. The smallest groove

on the Motor Pulley (168) will produce the speed of 500 RPM. The middle

groove on the Motor Pulley (168) will produce the speed of 900 RPM. The larg-

est groove on the Motor Pulley (168) will produce a speed of 1600 RPM. After

you have repositioned the V-Belt turn the Moveable Joint Bolt (167) until you

have the proper tension on the belt. Then tighten the nut (172) to lock it in place.

The final step is to replace the Pulley Shell (36).
