LATHES
Important.
Remember your safety is a priority!
Ensure you have set up your lathe correctly as per
page 5 and that you have connected your power
lead from the lathe to the nearest power point as per
“important electrical information” on page 7
Turn the main switch (item 22) clockwise (see page 7 for
location).
By now the EVSD (electronic variable speed device) will
give a digital readout by flashing. (item 23 page 7)
You can now select the rpm required by adjusting the
speed controller (potentiometer) (item 5) . The rpm
you select will appear flashing on the digital readout.
Please ensure that the spindle is not locked with the
indexing pin (item 7 on page 7).
After placing your work piece first make sure it can be
rotated by hand. Start up your lathe on low rpm. Refer
to work piece diameter and turning speed information
on page 6.
IMPORTANT:
For the work piece diameter and
turning speeds you must familiarize yourself with
the information on page 6. The spindle pulley ratio
information is near the beginning of the section for
your particular lathe.
Depress the on button (item 4 on page 7) this will
introduce power to the motor and activate the lathe.
Note: the rpm, which is displayed, is the rpm at which
the motor is currently operating.
Because of different densities within the timber, we
recommend to gradually increase your speed as your
work piece allows, without allowing your lathe to
vibrate.
Increased vibration can cause work piece to come off
its holding position.
For extra safety use tailstock with live centre to support
work piece.
The electronic motor will reach its selected speed
within three seconds, and it will take only 4 seconds to
come to a full stop.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to stop manually with
your hand the break wheel within the 4 seconds as it
can cause skin burn.
To stop your lathe the stop bar can be used. Refer to
item 21 on page 7.
Please refer to the safety instruction on page 5 and
safety ring set up on page 25.
