Always support the tool on the tool

hand keeping your fingers closed.
7. Setup and adjustments
General note:
Setup and adjustment work may
only be carried out after the
machine is protected against
accidental starting by pulling the
mains plug.
7.1 Changing speed range
Disconnect the machine from the
power source (unplug) !
Pull open the control box at the left
side of the base (A, Fig 5) and the
access door at the back side of the
headstock (B, Fig 6) to expose the
pulleys.

Fig 6
Take tension off the belt. Loosen the
motor plate lock (A, Fig 7) and lift up
motor plate handle (B).
Fig 7
You can now position the belt in the
desired speed range.
Close and lock the belt covers.
7.2 Adjusting tool rest
Position the tool rest ( C, Fig 8) as
close to the workpiece as possible.
Tighten handle (A) to lock.
Fig 8
Set the height to appr. 3mm above
centre. Tighten indexable knob (B, Fig
8).
7.3 Installing work holding
Disconnect the machine from the
power source (unplug)
The face plate
(A, Fig 9) screws on
the spindle nose thread.
Fig 9
Mount the workpiece directly to the
face plate using 4 wood screws from
the back. Be careful to use screws
short enough not to interfere with the
cutting process but long enough to
hold the workpiece securely to the
face plate.
If screw mounting is not allowed at all,
the work may be glued to a backing
block and the backing block screwed
to the face plate. A piece of paper in
the glue joint will prevent damaging
the wood when separated later.
Mount the face plate with the
workpiece already attached onto the
spindle nose thread and hand tighten.
Turn the workpiece by hand to see if it
rests securely and can be rotated
freely.
For face plate turning the tool rest is
set slightly lower than centreline.
Caution:
always cut with your chisel
on the left half of the workpiece only.
The spur drive centre
(A, Fig 10)
locks into the spindle taper and can be
removed with the knockout rod (B).
