7.2 Workpiece Clamping
1. Unplug the machine from power source. Install live centre into the
tailstock prior to clamping a workpiece.
2. Find the centre of the workpiece to be mounted with either the
faceplate or the drive centre. NOTE: A wood lathe chuck can also be used
to clamp a workpiece. The chuck must be compatible with the M33 x 3.5
spindle threading.
3. Fasten the workpiece to the faceplate or mount the drive centre onto
the centre of workpiece with a rubber mallet (NOTICE: do not use a metal
hammer) or clamp the workpiece in the jaws of the chuck (skip step 4).
4. Insert the faceplate or drive centre into the spindle. NOTICE: You may
need to remove the tailstock.
5. Replace the tailstock.
6. Fully release the quill by turning the hand wheel counter-clockwise.
7. Move the tailstock to the workpiece so that the live centre is circa 12
mm away from the workpiece.
8. Lock the tailstock in place with the cam lever.
9. Turn the hand wheel clockwise in order to seat the live centre intro the
centre of the workpiece. About 1/2 turn usually is enough, but it depends
on the hardness of the workpiece.
10. Tighten the quill locking handle.
11. Check that the workpiece rotates freely by using the spindle hand
brake prior to turning on the machine.
CAUTION!
The workpiece must be balanced. Unbalanced workpiece
may vibrate too heavily and cause problems. Especially with live edge
pieces, remove any large abnormalities prior to clamping the workpiece. A
balanced workpiece will not assume any rotation orientation.
Personal protection and safety
Make sure to completely read and understand this manual. It is necessary
to follow these instructions to limit danger when using this machine.
7.3 Turning on the Lathe
1. Confirm that the belt is in the correct speed range. For speed range
adjustments see Changing Speed Range
2. Use appropriate personal protective equipment.
3. Confirm that all chisels and work tools are within close range and do
not require any reaching over the workpiece.
4. Plug in the machine to the appropriate socket.
5. Double check the workpiece balancing and rotation.
6. Turn on the lathe.
CAUTION
! Do not start the lathe at maximum speed with a clamped
workpiece. Start at the lowest speed within chosen range. Then gradually
increase the speed.
