CHANGING SPEEDS
1. Disconnect the machine from the power source!
2. Loosen the locking handle (A, Fig. 9).
3. Lift up on the tensioning handle (B, Fig. 9) to
remove tension from the poly v-belt. You can now
position the belt in the desired speed range. It is
pictured in the low speed pulley range. Note: The
“High” speed range (330-3200) provides maximum
speed, where as the
“Low” speed range (100-
1200) will provide maximum torque.
4. Lower the tensioning handle so that the weight of
the motor provides the needed tension and tighten
the locking handle.
OPERATION
The following directions will give the inexperienced operator a beginning point for common lathe
operations. Practice on scrap material before attempting serious work.
LATHE TOOLS
Standard wood turning tools come in several
different configurations (Fig. 10). The majority of
turnings will require the gouge tool (A) Fig. 10. This
round nosed hollow chisel is used for roughing cuts,
cove cuts and other operations. The skew chisel (B) is
a double-ground flat chisel, with an angled end. This
tool is used for smoothing cylinders, for cutting
shoulders, beads, vee grooves, etc. The parting tool
(C) is a double-ground chisel, used for cutting-off, or
for making straight incisions or sizing cuts to any
required diameter. The round nose scraper (D) is used
for mostly hollowing work, while the square-end
scraper is mainly used for the outside of bowls.
CAUTION:
Always wear proper personal protection equipment, including
but not limited to, safety eye protection with side shields, face shield, safety
footwear, and leather gloves to protect from, chips, dust, burrs, and slivers.
