Maintenance
Maintenance
WARNING: For Your Own Safety, Turn Switch
"OFF" And Remove Plug From Power Source Outlet
Before Maintaining Or Lubricating Your Lathe.
Apply a coat of automobile-type wax to the lathe bed to
help the tool rest and tailstock move freely.
Have power cord replaced if it becomes worn or frayed.
Lubrication
Periodicallylubricate the ram in the tailstock with No.
20 or No. 30 engine oil.
Motor Maintenance And Lubrication
1. The bearings, in both end shields of the motor, have
been l ubricated at the factory with correct lubricant.
No other part of the motor requires lubrication.
2. Re-lubricate m ot or bearings in accordanc e with the
instructions on the nameplate. Be sure to wipe off di rt
or grit if present around oil hole caps to prevent any
possibility of foreign material contaminating the oil
wicks that supply the bearings with oil. Use a good
Insulated

grade of medium weigh t mineral oil, such as automobile engine oil SAE 20.
3. If disassembly of the motor is necessar y, it should be
returned to your nea rest RIDGID retail store in order
to prevent voiding the guarantee.
NOTE: The speed of t his motor cannot be regulated
or changed.
4. Every effort should be made to prevent foreign material from entering the motor. When operated under
conditions likely to permit ac c umulations of dust, dirt,
or waste within the m otor, a visual inspection should
be made at frequent inter vals. Accumulations of dr y
dust can usually be blown out successfully.
NOTE: Motors used on woodworking tools are particularly susceptible to the accumulation of sawdust and
wood chips and should be blown o ut or "vacuumed"
frequently to prevent interference with normal motor
ventilation and proper operation of the centrifugally
operated s tarting switch.
