Hi Stanum

GENUINE HERCUS DVD HOW TO OPERATE/MAINTAIN 260 LATHE - eBay, Equipment, Machinery, Woodworking, Industrial. (end time 31-Mar-10 12:43:53 AEDST)

might be of interest - DVD provides details. All the best.

to markpest: Thank you very much, but I have not the opportunity to buy this disk from Russia.
May I ask you give me a chance for download this manual from Internet?
(sorry for my english)

The preservation grease is easily removed by wiping the machine with kerosene or very carefully with petrol (gasoline) to dissolve it...

Thank you for nothing...

If you do a Google search, you'll find a number of Torrents of the Hercus manual.

wow Russia thats a long way away how did you come across your Hercus Stanum?

to snowyskiesau: I search in Google, but I find nothing... May I ask you to give me a link for Torrents of the Hercus manual?
to new_guy90: I have presented this lathe from my comrade... And he bring this lathe from Singapore about five years ago...

Maybe not Google then but try posting from new_guy90 from the 26 February on this . https://www.woodworkforums.com/f189/h...7/#post1114673 This is a useful resource for Hercus owners.

Everyone has been more than helpful with the information you needed.

It is not difficult at all, but if you would like some body to take up there time, to scan this for you, and then down load the file, this is not the way to ask for help.

Excuse me for my rudeness...
I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings - I didn't mean to. I mean joke...
And seriously now... There was a great deal of talk, but I see it will end in talk...
And I don't wait really help here now...
Farewell, yours sincerely, Stanum from Russia

There used to be pdf manuals for earlier Hercus 9 inch lathes which are almost identical for most parts mechanically to the Hercus 260, which just had a cast iron box enclosing the pulleys if I recall correctly. So any Hercus nine inch lathe manual should be of some use to you Stannum. Also early Hercus 9 inch lathes are very similar to the American South Bend 9 inch lathes.
