UNPACKING AND CHECKING CONTENTS
Your Baileigh machine is shipped complete. Separate all parts from the packing material and
check each item carefully. Make certain all items are accounted for before discarding any
packing material.
Cleaning
Your machine may be shipped with a rustproof waxy coating and/or grease on the exposed
unpainted metal surfaces. Fully and completely remove this protective coating using a
degreaser or solvent cleaner. Moving items will need to be moved along their travel path to
allow for cleaning the entire surface. For a more thorough cleaning, some parts will occasionally
have to be removed. DO NOT USE acetone or brake cleaner as they may damage painted
surfaces.
Follow manufacturer’s label instructions when using any type of cleaning product. After cleaning,
wipe unpainted metal surfaces with a light coating of quality oil or grease for protection.
Important: This waxy coating is NOT a lubricant and will cause the machine to
stick and lose performance as the coating continues to dry.
WARNING: SUFFOCATION HAZARD! Immediately discard any plastic
bags and packing materials to eliminate choking and suffocation hazards to children
and animals.
If any parts are missing, DO NOT place the machine into service until the missing
parts are obtained and installed correctly.
WARNING: DO NOT USE gasoline or other petroleum products to clean
the machine. They have low flash points and can explode or cause fire.
CAUTION: When using cleaning solvents work in a well-ventilated area.
Many cleaning solvents are toxic if inhaled.

TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING
Follow these guidelines when lifting with crane or hoist:
•Use lift equipment such as straps,
chains, capable of lifting 1.5 to 2 times
the weight of the machine.
•Secure two lift straps around the lathe
base, staying behind the lead screw,
feed rod, and control rod. Be careful
not to damage any electrical cables or
coolant lines.
•Take proper precautions for handling
and lifting by checking if the load is
properly balanced by lifting it an inch or
two.
•Lift the machine, avoiding sudden accelerations or quick changes of direction.
•Locate the machine where it is to be installed, and lower slowly until it touches the floor.
Follow these guidelines when lifting with truck or trolley:
•The lift truck must be able to lift at least 1.5 –2 times the machines gross weight.
•Make sure the machine is balanced. While transporting, avoid rough or jerky motion, and
maintain a safe clearance zone around the transport area.
•Use a fork lift with sufficient lifting capacity and forks that are long enough to reach the
complete width of the machine.
•Remove the securing bolts that attach the machine to the pallet.
•Approaching the machine from the side, lift the machine on the frame taking care that there
are no cables or pipes in the area of the forks.
•Move the machine to the required position and lower gently to the floor.
•Level the machine so that all the supporting feet are taking the weight of the machine and no
rocking is taking place.
CAUTION: Lifting and carrying operations should be carried out by skilled
workers, such as a truck operator, crane operator, etc. If a crane is used to lift the
machine, attach the lifting chain carefully, making sure the machine is well balanced.
Choose a location that will keep the machine free from vibration and dust from other
machinery. Keep in mind that having a large clearance area around the machine is
important for safe and efficient working conditions.

INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
Consider the following when looking for a suitable location to place the machine:
•Overall weight of the machine.
•Weight of material being processed.
•Sizes of material to be processed through the machine.
•Space needed for auxiliary stands, work tables, or other machinery.
•Clearance from walls and other obstacles.
•Maintain an adequate working area around the machine for safety.
•Have the work area well illuminated with proper lighting.
•Keep the floor free of oil and make sure it is not slippery.
•Remove scrap and waste materials regularly, and make sure the work area is free from
obstructing objects.
•If long lengths of material are to be fed into the machine, make sure that they will not extend
into any aisles.
•LEVELING: The machine should be sited on a level, concrete floor. Provisions for securing it
should be in position prior to placing the machine. The accuracy of any machine depends on
the precise placement of it to the mounting surface.
•FLOOR: This tool distributes a large amount of weight over a small area. Make certain that
the floor is capable of supporting the weight of the machine, work stock, and the operator.
The floor should also be a level surface. If the unit wobbles or rocks once in place, be sure to
eliminate by using shims.
•WORKING CLEARANCES: Take into consideration the size of the material to be
processed. Make sure that you allow enough space for you to operate the machine freely.
•POWER SUPPLY PLACEMENT: The power supply should be located close enough to the
machine so that the power cord is not in an area where it would cause a tripping hazard. Be
sure to observe all electrical codes if installing new circuits and/or outlets.
Anchoring the Machine
•Once positioned, anchor the machine to the floor, as shown in
the diagram. Use bolts and expansion plugs or sunken tie rods
that connect through and are sized for the holes in the base of
the stand.
•This machine requires a solid floor such as concrete at a
minimum of 4” (102mm) thick. 6” (153mm) minimum is preferred.

Lubrication
Before putting the lathe into operation, make the following lubrication check.
Headstock
The bearings of the headstock turn in an oil bath. Ensure that the oil level reaches three
quarters of the oil gauge glass.
Gear Case
Remove the end cover to expose the filling plug. Through it the Shell Tellus 32 is filled to the oil
level in the oil gauge glass regularly.
Apron
The oil bath is filled with Shell Tellus 32 through the filling plug on the right side of the apron.
Check the oil level in the oil gauge glass on the front regularly.
Change Gears
Lubricate the change gears with thick machine oil or grease once a month.
Other Parts
There are other lubricating points on the input shaft bracket of the gear box, the handwheel on
the apron, the longitudinal and cross slide, the thread dial indicator, the tailstock and the
bracket, use the grease gun to put a few drops of oil from time to time. Lubricate the apron
worm and worm gear, half nut and leadscrew twice a mouth. Apply a light oil film to the bed way
and all other bright parts, like the tailstock quill, feed rod etc. once a day.

ELECTRICAL
Power Specifications
Your tool is wired for 220 volts, 60Hz alternating current. Before connecting the tool to the power
source, make sure the machine is cut off from power source.
Before switching on the power, you must check the voltage and frequency of the power to see if
they meet with the requirement, the allowed range for the voltage is ±5%, and for the frequency
is ±1%.
Considerations
•Observe local electrical codes when connecting the machine.
•The circuit should be protected with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker with a amperage
rating slightly higher than the full load current of machine.
•A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. Before connecting the motor to the
power line, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current
is of the same characteristics as indicated on the tool.
•All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the

•In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
CAUTION: HAVE ELECTRICAL UTILITIES CONNECTED TO MACHINE BY
A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN!
Check if the available power supply is the same as listed on the machine nameplate.
WARNING: Make sure the grounding wire (green) is properly connected
to avoid electric shock. DO NOT switch the position of the green grounding wire if
any electrical plug wires are switched during hookup.
WARNING:In all cases, make certain the receptacle in question is
properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the
receptacle.
