    The document provides tips for proper care and basic maintenance of a lathe machine. It recommends maintaining a clean and safe work environment, taking care to remove dust from plastic, cast iron, or wood materials being worked on. Spindle tapers should be wiped clean when switching tools and the machine should be protected from rust, especially near coastal areas prone to higher humidity. Metal chips should also be cleaned from the workpiece and lathe channels to keep the workspace secure and prevent scratches on machine surfaces.

    PROPER CARE AND

    BASIC MAINTENANCE
    DONE ON A LATHE
    MACHINE
    PROPER CARE ON THE LATHE
    MACHINE

    1. Maintain a safe and clean work


    environment
    - Operating the lathe machine
    properly and in a hygienic
    workspace is the first step in
    preventing machine part damage.

    2. Take care of dust


    - When working with dusty materials
    like plastic, cast iron, or wood,
    exercise caution. Cast iron dust can
    be highly abrasive. The lubricant on
    the machine also has a tendency to
    attract dust.
    3. Clean spindle tapers
    - The spindle tapers must be examined
    as well. When switching tools, think
    about wiping the spindle sockets with a
    soft cotton towel.
    4. Protect the machine from rust
    -When using any type of machine tool,
    rust protection is a crucial factor to take
    into account. Workstations close to the
    shore are more vulnerable to rust and
    corrosion damage because of the
    increased humidity.
    5. Clean metal chips
    -Clean the metal chips from your
    workpiece as you go. This encourages a
    secure workplace. Additionally, it
    prevents the fine chips from scrubbing
    the lathe channels' surface.
