Tailstock center replacement, Fig. 1.1, 4

• Turn tailstock spindle sleeve totally backwards until

the tip can be removed.

Tool holder, Fig. 1.1, 3

• The tool holder both insures safe use of wood turn-

ing tools and at the same time serves as a support

for the hand.

The height of the tool holder can be adjusted once

the binder has been loosened. To turn further, pull in

the direction indicated by the arrow.

• Place the tool holder at a distance of 1 – 3 mm from

the workpiece. Check the adjustment in addition to

rotating the workpiece by hand.

• Set the tool holder ca. 3 mm above the axis of the

workpiece.

Check the adjustment once again by rotating the

workpiece by hand.

• Once the eccentric clamp has been loosened,

the holder console can be moved along the entire

length of the bed and in the direction perpendicular

to the workpiece. Furthermore, the holder console

can be tilted over approx. 45º to either side.

• To work with a plane surface, turn the tool holder

90º and place up against the surface to be worked.

Depending on the wood turning tool, place the tool

holder up to 6 mm underneath the axis of the work-

piece.

Use of wood turning tools, Fig. 4

Examples of how to use the tools when working with

the most frequent forms. Once the machine has been

plugged in, it is ready to be used. Observe the operat-

ing instructions in „Electrical connection“.

Operations

A perfect and sharp wood turner tool is a precon-

dition for professional wood-turning.

Selection of materials

• Wood to be turned must be of good quality and with-

out imperfections such as ssures against the grain,

a marred surface, or knots. Faulty wood tends to

split and becomes a risk for both the operator and

the machine.

• Workpieces that have been glued together should

only be processed by experienced craftsmen. Be-

cause the workpiece can explode as a result of

developing centrifugal force, turning such wood de-

mands careful gluing without weak points.

Note: Beginners should rst master fundamental skills

by working exclusively with solid material.

Preparation of the materials

• To turn long pieces of wood, the material must be

cut into a square form beforehand.

• To turn a cross-arm, the material must be cut to size

in its natural state as well. Saw out the rough form

with a band saw. An octagonal form is recommend-

ed for the material so that vibrations are reduced.

Centering of the workpiece, Fig. 05

Centering the prepared workpiece is an important

operation to be performed before placing it into the

machine.

Centering consists of measuring the middle point of

the workpiece and marking it with a center punch.

Make a depression of 1.5 to 2 mm in the middle point.

If the workpiece has not been centered exactly, strong

vibrations will develop as a result of the imbalance. It

is possible that the workpiece could be hurled outward

as a result.

NOTE: Exact centering of the workpiece produces

smooth concentricity.

While working with the turner

• Work with a rough workpiece should be conducted

at low speeds.

• Only after the wood has been pre-turned (the pre-

turning operation is complete once the basic form of

the workpiece as well as an even concentricity have

been achieved) can the speed be raised.

TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE MOTOR FIRST

• The live center must be readjusted from time to time

with the hand wheel. This operation only should be

performed when the motor has been turned off.

The tailstock center should rest rmly in the wood.

• Turn the workpiece by hand to check if it rests se-

cured.

Marking of the workpiece

Sometimes the workpiece has to be taken out before

it has been completed. It is advantageous to mark the

workpiece and the driver with a pencil rst.

When placing the workpiece back in the machine,

match the marks on the workpiece and the driver.

Specialized literature

Specialized shops offer appropriate specialized litera-

ture about wood turning. They can be a great help for

beginners in their work as well as a source of ideas

for experts.

m Electrical connection

The installed electric motor is completely wired ready

for operation.

The customer’s connection to the power supply sys-

tem, and any extension cables that may be used, must

conform with local regulations.

Important remark:

The motor is automatically switched off in the event of

an overload. The motor can be switched on again after

a cooling down period that can vary.

Defective electrical connection cables

Electrical connection cables often suffer insulation

damage.

Possible causes are:

• Pinch points when connection cables are run

through window or door gaps.

• Kinks resulting from incorrect attachment or laying

of the connection cable.

• Cuts resulting from running over the connecting ca-

ble.

• Insulation damage resulting from forcefully pulling

out of the wall socket.

• Cracks through aging of insulation.
