handle is already fitted. The second handle (included in the

Assembling the bed extension
(available as an option)
The bed extension adds 600 mm to the lathe´s lenght. This
accessory is not part of the shipment.
•
Before attaching the bed extension, push the tailstock
away from the end to the center of the lathe bed
•
Using a second person, position the bed extension flush
with the lathe bed and insert the Allen set screws with
the washers through the holes in the bed extension into
the threaded holes on the lathe bed.
•
Lift the lathe bed extension slightly above the top edge
of the lathe bed. Tighten the screws only so much that
the extension is held in position.
IMPORTANT:
So the tailstock can easily be moved along the groove, the lathe bed and extension have to be accurately aligned.
Advice:
Before tightening the bed extension, guide the tailstock over the connection point and tighten it. This will align the
connection.
•
If required, use a rubber hammer or a hammer with a wooden block underneath in order to align the bed extension with the
lathe bed. Never directly hit the metal surface with a metal hammer! Tap until both surfaces and the insides are completely
aligned.
•
Then tighten the Allen set screws. Ensure that the alignment of both parts does not change.
•
The operator must use an isolated socket fused with 16 amp. The mains voltage and rating must correspond to the data
on the lathe‘s rating plate.
•
The building must be equipped with mains protection which is connected to the lathe‘s safety plug.
•
The supplied safety plug must be used with a suitable isolated socket which has been appropriately installed, according
to country-specific electrical regulations.
