Daily After Use
• Clean wood shavings away from the lathe bed and tool rest.
• Smear a light coat of wax, 'Axminster Machine Wax' , code
105806' , see fig 36, over the lathe bed to allow the banjo and
tailstock to run more smoothly over the bed and to prevent
corrosion.
• Spray 'Axcaliber Dry Lubricant' , code 503468, over the tailstock
barrel/live centre and headstock spindle/chuck after use,
see fig 37.
Monthly
• Check the tension of the belt and adjust, see page 12
for Changing the Belt Speed.
• Check any build up of wood shavings on the motor
and spindle pulleys and clean if necessary.
• Use an 'M' class vacuum cleaner to clean the heat sink air
vents on the NVR control box assembly.
NOTE: Take careful note of the
orientation of the brushes, remember
that they have bedded themselves to
the profile of the commutator in that
position. If you fit them reversed, it
can cause excessive sparking and heat
until they have re-bedded themselves.
2. Remove the motor brushes and
check the condition of the brush
head,see fig 34.
