Vibration Safety
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to
vibration may cause temporary or
permanent physical injury, particularly
to the hands, arms and shoulders. To
reduce the risk of vibration-related
injury:
Do not smoke during use. Nico-2.
tine reduces the blood supply to the
hands and ngers, increasing the risk
of vibration-related injury.
Wear suitable gloves to reduce the 3.
vibration effects on the user.
Use tools with the lowest vibration 4.
when there is a choice between different processes.
Include vibration-free periods each 5.
day of work.
Grip tool as lightly as possible (while 6.

the tool do the work.
To reduce vibration, maintain the tool 7.

UNPACKING
When unpacking, check to make sure
that the item is intact and undamaged. If
any parts are missing or broken, please
call Harbor Freight Tools at the number
shown on the cover of this manual as soon
as possible.
The unpainted surfaces of the Lathe
are coated with a waxy oil to protect them
from corrosion during shipment. Remove
the coating with a solvent cleaner or citrusbased degreaser. Avoid chlorine-based
solvents since they will damage the paint.

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 lifting 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 during operation.
Bolt the stand to the oor before plac-3.

GRAVITY
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.
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.)

Open the Gear Box Cover (120A), a.
and using a suitable wrench, hold
the Arbor Shaft to prevent it from
turning. Grip the Chuck or Faceplate, and rotate it in a counterclockwise direction to unthread it from the
Arbor Shaft.
When re-installing a Chuck or Face-b.
plate, be sure to put light grease on
the threaded end of the Arbor Shaft
to ease installation and removal of
the Chuck or Faceplate.
You are provided with a 3-Jaw c.
Chuck (118A) and a 4-Jaw Chuck
(119A). Each may be used to hold
workpieces by clamping from the
outside, or by expanding on the
inside of tubes and hollow pieces.
To tighten the Jaws, rotate any of the
internal Hex Head Bolts in the side
of the Chuck with an appropriate
size Hex Wrench. Chucks are selfcentering, and will align concentric
workpieces with the axis of rotation
of the Arbor Shaft.
Faceplates (110-1A) are used d.
typically to hold larger or non-round
workpieces. Workpieces may be attached to the Faceplate by a variety
of methods including clamps, bolts,
and screws. It is critical that the centerpoint of the workpiece be exactly
aligned with the center of rotation of
the Arbor Shaft for accurate turning.
