SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
additional safety instruction see EG-conformity declaration
The vee-belt cover must be closed after each change of V-belt position by the hinge
otherwise motor does not run
Before the machine is switched on
:
turn potentiometer down to “0”
the selected speed must be checked against the maximum permissible workpiece diameter.
For large, out-of-balance workpieces adjust lowest speed, cut the workpiece before if possible
octagonal with a bandsaw
All clamping levers of spindle-/tailstock, tool rests etc must be tightened before beginning to work
any operating pins /keys must be removed from chucks, indexing pin from spindle
CLAMPING THE WORKPIECE
Turning between centres with the 4-prong-mandrel and live centre
centre the workpiece at both ends outside the lathe (make bearings last longer)
that markings are visible (f.e. use centering device 05.0336.00 or 05.0337.00)
press the driver prongs firmly into the workpiece by turning the hand wheel.
for hardwood and exotics we recommend to make a boring with a drill D=4 mm
tighten the set screws for the tailstock and the quill
Overhung turning with chucks
Cone-shaped chuck:
Taper turn the workpiece to suit the chuck diameter and knock workpiece
outside of lathe into the chuck
Face plate:
Secure the wooden discs with wooden screws (long enough) through the borings of plate
Disc-chuck:
Screw the workpiece into the wooden screw: if necessary, drill core hole before
Wooden discs can be used to limit the depth of the woodworm-screw
Jaw-chucks:
Increased risk to operator with jaws which project beyond the chuck body.
Remove the tightening key before starting the lathe
div.chucks
i.e. SUPER NOVA2, NOVA G3, NOVA TITAN II, Sorby Patriot
see separate operating manual supplied with the chuck
HANDWHEEL TAILSTOCK
Please notice that the handwheel is no a precision part, , the run-out accuracy of the handwheel
has
NO influence to the run-out-accuracy of the spindle
TOOL REST
Move the tool rest as close as possible to the workpiece, re-adjust it during the work.
Take care of the square dimension of your workpiece.
Move tool rest just if workpiece is not turning. Clamp fastening screws.
OUTRIGGER (Option)
The outrigger can be placed at any position at the lathe bed
Mounting
Move tailstock and toolrest complete out to the righthandside of lathe bed
Put the outrigger arm onto any position at the lathe bed and fix it
Advise: use headstock 180° degree swivelled and move it to the middle of lathe bed
The outrigger is placed at lefthand side of headstock
Insert tool rest bottm part into the arm of the outrigger and clamp it
Insert the supplied extension piece into the boring of the tool rest support, clamp it
Insert the tool rest upper part into the extension piece
.
