• Trim work piece to a rectangular shape, center and

correctly secure before processing. Unbalanced work

pieces can be hazardous.

• Injuries can occur when feeding work pieces if tool sup-

ports are not correctly adjusted or if turning tools are

blunt. Sharp turning tools which are free of defects are

necessary for professional turning.

• Long hair and loose clothing can be hazardous when

the work piece is rotating. Wear personal protective gear

such as a hair net and tight ﬁtting work clothes.

• Saw dust and wood chips can be hazardous. Wear pe-

sonal protective gear such as safety goggles and a dust

mask.

• The use of incorrect or damaged mains cables can lead

to injuries caused by electricity.

• Even when all safety measures are taken, some re-

maining hazards which are not yet evident may still

be present.

• Remaining hazards can be minimized by following the

instructions in „Safety Precautions“, „Proper Use“ and

in the entire operating manual.

Assembly (ﬁgure 2 – 8)

Due to packing reasons, your woodturning lathe will be deliv-

ered partially assembled, in a wooden pallet box. Fig. 2

1 Open the box and remove the lateral parts. Fig. 3

2 Remove the carton and all loose individual components.

Fig. 4

3 Remove the fastening screws which are used to secure

the lathe bed on the pallet. Fig. 5

4 Remove the feet from the pallet. Fig. 6

5 Place the lathe bed on the stable surface which is a bit

higher than the base frame feet. Fig. 7

Note! In order to make the assembly easier, you may re-

move the headstock before the assembly.

6 Attach both feet to the lathe bed and fasten the screws

tightly. Fig. 8

7 Mount the tool support with the bracket on the most

rear frame foot. Fig. 8.1.

8 Now attach the tool support to the lathe bed, the face-

plate to the headstock and insert the tailstock centre

in the barrel.

9 Now the woodturning lathe is operational.

Start-up

Observe the safety notes in the operating instructions before

operating the machine.

Remove the tensioning spindle or the chuck from the spindle

in addition to any step-up tools before ﬁrst operating the ma-

chine!

Reversing switch, Fig. 6

Your turning machine is equipped witha reversing switch.

The motor is always switched on and off using the operat-

ing switch. I = green; 0 = red.

The reversing switch is merely a selector for the direction

of rotation. You can change the direction of rotation from

anticlockwise to clockwise as you require.

The speed setting can only be done when engine is running.

For safety reasons, it is not possible to switch directly

from anticlockwise to clockwise when the motor is run-

ning. When the reversing switch is in 0-position it switch-

es the motor off, which must be switched back on using

the green switch.

Speed adjustment Fig. 7

The speed can only be adjusted during work.

The correct number of revolutions is visible on the speed

diagram located on the headstock. The speed diagram is

intended for medium-hard dry woods.

The appropriate speed is based on various factors such

as:

• type and compostion of woods

• seasoned, dry woods

• diameter and length of workpieces

• squared or unbalanced woods

• width of pre-worked, balanced workpieces

• wood turner tools and technique

• workpieces out of glued wood

Successful wood turning does not result from high speeds,

but rather, from correct use of the machine.

Guidelines for speed adjustment

Low speeds for:

• workpieces with large diameters

• hard workpieces with large diameters

• long, unbalanced workpieces

• glued pieces of wood

Adjustment of the speed Fig.9

The continuous setting of the rotations per minute (B) may

only be done while the machine is running.

The speed is visible on the display (D) and may be ad-

justed in 2 levels.

1 Level from 0 – 1,200

2 Level from 0 – 3,200

The adjustment is performed by shifting the drive belt and

is carried out as follows.

Attention! Unplug the mains plug.

1 Open the cover (E).

2 Open the belt clamping lever (G).

3 Lift the motor by means of the lever (H).

4 Set the belt to level 2.

5 Attention! The belt must be aligned accurately.

6 Clamp the belt and lock it with the clamp lever (G)

7 Rotate the spindle by hand slightly and check the belt

run.

8 Close the cover and lock with the screw.

NOTE: Extremely high belt-tension causes rapid wear of the

belt.

Close the casing and lock into place by turning the screw

1/4 of a revolution to the right. When the cover is closed,

read the adjusted speed from the viewing-window. When

working with highly unbalanced workpieces, select a speed

at least one level lower.

Überlastschutz Fig.9 (F)

Bei Überlastung der Maschine schaltet der Motor ab.

Nach Abkühlung des Motors, den Knopf (F) drücken, dan-

ach kann wieder weiter gearbeitet werden.
