The Variable speed adjustment knob adjusts
the spindle speed. Turns clockwise to increase
the speed, turns counter-clockwise to decrease
the speed.
6.8 High / low speed
The lathe has two sets of pulleys for high
(135 - 3500 rpm) and low (50 - 1300 rpm)
speed ranges.
Adjust between the speed ranges as follows.
1. Disconnect the electric supply to the lathe.
2. Open the pulley cover.
3. Loosen the motor lock handle and lift the
motor to the highest position with the motor
adjustment handle, then lock the motor lock
handle.

6.9 Indexing the spindle
The spindle has 3 sets of indexing holes 14 / 36
/ 48. The selection plunger is located at the
end of the head stock. To move between the 3
sets of holes, loosen the clamp knobs and
slide the indexing plunger assembly to align
with the selected hole set. Clamp in position
with the clamp knobs. Try the plunger in a
few different holes to check that it inserts
and removes smoothly. The indexing plunger
is spring loaded and this is used only to
temporarily align the plunger in the selected
hole. To fix the plunger in a selected hole, it
must be attached to the housing by screwing
into the clamped position. There is a hole
selection indicator that allows you to view which
hole in a selected hole set has been selected.

7. Maintenance
General
Keep your machine clean. At the end of each
day, clean the machine. Wood contains
moisture, and if sawdust or wood chips are not
removed they will cause rust. In general, we
recommend that you only use a Teflon-based
lubricant on the lathe. Regular oil attracts dust
and dirt. Teflon lubricant tends to dry and has
less of a tendency to accumulate dirt and saw
dust.
Periodically check that all nuts and bolts are
tight.
Drive belt
The drive belt should last for many years
(depending on the usage) but needs to be
inspected regularly for cracks, cuts and general
wear. If damage is found, replace the belt.
Bearings
All bearings are sealed for life and do not
require any maintenance. If a bearing becomes
faulty, replace it.
Rust
The lathe is made from steel and cast iron. All
none-painted surfaces will rust if not protected.
It is recommended that they be protected by
applying wax or a Teflon- based lubricant to
them.
Centre point alignment and slide
clearance adjustment
The centre point alignment and slide clearance
are adjusted at the factory and no adjustment
should be required. Should movement or wear
have taken place, the following adjustment
procedure should be conducted. Note: The
