Welcome to the forum!

That's most likely a Taiwanese lathe that is/was sold under a huge number of different brands and model numbers over the last several decades First step would be to check this site to see if your lathe matches the pictures shown there.

If it does, you're halfway there. You can buy a manual and parts list from the same site, but it's likely to be an illegible copy of a copy of a poor translation from Chinese to English. Some folks find that it's better to find a close copy of the lathe from Grizzly and download their manual instead.The Grizzly manual may not match your lathe exactly, but at least you will be able to read it.

Here is a generic Taiwanese parts manual that may apply to your lathe.

Operating machines is perfectly safe......until you forget how dangerous it really is!
