warning!
IF ANY PART IS MISSING OR DAMAGED, DO NOT PLUG THE
WOOD LATHE IN UNTIL YOU HAVE REPLACED THE MISSING OR DAMAGED
PART. For your safety, complete the assembly of the lathe before plugging it into
the power supply.
installing wood lathe bed and power inverter asseMblY on
stand legs
1. Carefully remove the leg set and wood lathe bed from the cartons.
caUtion!
THE WOOD LATHE IS VERY HEAVY AND MUST BE LIFTED WITH
THE HELP OF 2 PEOPLE OR MORE OR LIFTING EQUIPMENT. THE ASSEMBLY
PROCESS REQUIRES 2 PEOPLE OR MORE TO SAFELY ASSEMBLE THE
LATHE TO THE LEG SET.
2. Install the 4 rubber feet (A) Fig.4 to the stand legs (B).
3. Position the stand legs (A) Fig.5 standing up approximately 45” apart and position
the lathe bed assembly (B) over the stand legs.
4. Position the power inverter assembly (C) under the mounting holes on the left
side stand leg as shown.
5. Align the holes in the bed with the holes in the top of the stand legs.
6. Insert four hex. bolts, spring washers and washers (D) into the mounting holes
in each end of the bed and tighten them using an open end wrench.
7. Once the above steps have been completed, install the support bracket (C) Fig.4
to the lower section of the power inverter bracket (D) using two pan head screws.
installing the belt tension lever
1. Install the belt tension lever (A) Fig.6 into the threaded hole (B).
installing tool rest on wood lathe bed
1. Install the tool rest base (A) Fig.7 to the lathe bed using the provided slotted
clamp and large hex. nut, to allow for adjustment, do not fully tighten hex. nut.
2. Secure the tool rest base by turning the tool rest base lock lever (B). If the lock
lever will not lock the tool rest base down onto the bed, loosen or tighten the
hex. nut (located on the underside of the tool rest base) in small increments to
achieve proper clamping pressure.
3. Insert the tool rest arm (C) into the tool rest base and fix it in place using the lock
handle (D).
4. Insert the tool rest (E) into the tool rest arm and fix it in place using the lock
handle (F).
note:
The tool rest (E) can be installed with or without the tool rest arm (C). Make
sure there is adaquate clearance between the workpiece and the tool rest assembly
before turning on the wood lathe. Turn your workpiece by hand to check clearance.
Normally the tool rest is positioned as close as possible to the workpiece in between
the headstock and the tailstock.
