3.2.
Tailstock
3.2.1. The tailstock may be moved along the lathe bed and the tailstock spindle adjusted to suit the workpiece length.
3.2.2. Loosen the tailstock locking lever, reposition the tailstock along the lathe bed and retighten the locknut.
3.2.3. For fine adjustment use the tailstock spindle adjust knob, loosen the spindle lock and then turn the tailstock adjustment knob as necessary.
Retighten the lock.
4. USING THE LATHE
WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply the safety instructions before using the lathe. If you have NO turning
experience, we recommend you practice until you have familiarised yourself with the applications and limitations of the lathe
and the hazards of turning.
DO NOT TAKE ANY CHANCES WHEN WORKING WITH A LATHE AND TURNING TOOLS.
Keep alert. DO NOT allow familiarity (from frequent use) to cause a careless mistake. Remember, failure to operate the lathe
correctly is dangerous and may cause serious damage and/or personal injury.
4.1.1. Fasten the workpiece securely to the faceplate or between centres. When screwing a workpiece to the faceplate use brass wood
screws and check that the points of the screws will not foul the tool during turning.
4.1.2. Adjust the tool rest to suit, ensuring that it is close to the workpiece (we recommend 3mm) and, for spindle turning, positioned above
the centre line of the workpiece.
4.1.3. To confirm that the workpiece will not hit any part of the lathe always rotate it by hand before turning on the motor.
4.1.4. Check that all clamps and locks are tightened before switching on the lathe.
Note: The lathe is fitted with a no-volt On/Off switch which automatically switches off if the supply is interrupted (power cut, socket
switched off etc.) thereby preventing unexpected, and therefore dangerous, start-up when the supply is reconnected.
4.1.5. To switch the lathe on open the switch cover and press the “I” button. Allow the cover to close but do not press fully shut and
latched as this will switch off the lathe.
4.1.6. To switch the lathe off normally open the switch cover and press the “O” button.
In an emergency
push the red ‘button’ on the
switch cover. This will stop the lathe and also latch the switch cover closed, with the “O” button depressed. The lathe cannot be
restarted until the switch cover has been unlatched.
4.1.7. The SM1307 is fitted with a variable speed control and may be operated at speeds of 700 to 3200rpm.
4.1.8. Start the lathe and turn the speed control knob to achieve the desired speed.
4.1.9. Switch lathe on and rough out “out-of-round” workpieces at a slow speed. Running the lathe too fast will cause vibration, which may
result in the workpiece being thrown from the lathe, or the tool to be pulled from your hand.
4.1.10. Keep a firm control of the cutting tool. Care must be exercised when wood knots or voids in the workpiece are exposed.
4.1.11. Complete any hand sanding before removing the workpiece from the lathe. Ensure that the lathe speed during sanding does not
exceed the last cutting speed used.
5. mAINTENANCE
WARNING! Ensure the lathe is unplugged from the mains power supply before service or maintenance.
Keep the lathe clean and the surrounding area tidy.
Frequently blow out any dust accumulation in the motor, housing and bed.
Wear eye protection when doing so.
Protect the bed from corrosion by occasionally applying automobile wax.
Regularly lightly oil control and clamp levers and threads to ensure smooth operation.
Should the motor require service or maintenance contact your local authorised service agent.
