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

Periodically lubricate 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 lubricated at the factory with correct lubricant.

No other part of the motor requires lubrication.

2. Re-lubricate motor bearings in accordance with the

instructions on the nameplate. Be sure to wipe off dirt

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

grade of medium weight mineral oil, such as automo-

bile engine oil SAE 20.

3. If disassembly of the motor is necessary, it should be

returned to your nearest RIDGID retail store in order

to prevent voiding the guarantee.

NOTE: The speed of this motor cannot be regulated

or changed.

4. Every effort should be made to prevent foreign mate-

rial from entering the motor. When operated under

conditions likely to permit accumulations of dust, dirt,

or waste within the motor, a visual inspection should

be made at frequent intervals. Accumulations of dry

dust can usually be blown out successfully.

NOTE: Motors used on woodworking tools are partic-

ularly susceptible to the accumulation of sawdust and

wood chips and should be blown out or "vacuumed"

frequently to prevent interference with normal motor

ventilation and proper operation of the centrifugally

operated starting switch.
