OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operating tips:
1. Make sure cutting tools are sharp and clean for best performance and safe opera-
tion.
2. Never leave the work area until the lathe has been turned off and the spindle has
come to a complete stop.
3. Once a work-piece has been clamped onto the lathe, always rotate the work-
piece by hand and check for proper tool rest clearance before turning the lathe on.
4. When turning a work-piece, always rough the wood to round form at a low speed to
reduce the risk of kickback.
5. Always position the tool rest firmly and securely just above the centreline of the work-
piece when shaping a piece of stock.
6. Remove all loose knots from the stock before it is mounted on to the lathe.
7. Always keep a firm hold on and maintain control of the cutting tool.
8. If you are uncertain about the optimal speed, it is better to start with the slowest,
and increase your speed as your comfort with the tool and the work piece increases.
9. Never force the tool or attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. It is de-
signed to do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was intended.
Rotating The Headstock:
The headstock has 5 pre-set positions. 0 degrees
for all spindle turning applications, 60, 90 and
120 degrees for use when making faceplate
turnings and 180 degrees when using the exten-
sion bed and the tool rest.
To set the headstock in the desired position:
•
Turn the headlock handle (1) until you
have completed at least one full rotation.
•
Pull out the headstock release (2).
•
Rotate the entire headstock in a clockwise
rotation to the desired position. The head-
stock will ‘click’ into one of the pre-set set-
tings.
•
Tighten the headlock handle (1).
