• Wood which is not correctly glued can explode when be-

ing processed due to centrifugal force.

• Trim work piece to a rectangular shape, center and cor-

rectly 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.

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!

Speed adjustment

The speed can only be adjusted once the machine has

been unplugged.

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

Speed adjustment Fig. 2 + 3

• Open casing by rotating the lock screw of a revolution to

the left.

• Loosen the binder (5B). To turn further, pull in the direc-

tion indicated by the arrow. The binder can be moved

freely up or down.

• Using the lever (5A), raise the electric motor and move

the belt to the desired level.

• The revolving speed from 650 to 3800 Rpm is distribu-

ted in 3 speed ranges.

Slow range from 650 to 1450 Rpm, medium speed from

1250 to 2800 Rpm and high speed from 1600 to 3800

Rpm.

The selection of the speed range is made by moving the

transmission belt.

The adjustment of the speed in each speed range is

made by means of a frequency variator.

• The belt must lie exactly in the grooves of the belt disc.

• Lower the electric motor into place and tighten the belt

by applying light pressure to the lever (5A). Tighten the

binder (5B) and return to its vertical position.

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

belt.

• Close the casing and lock into place by turning the screw

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, se-

lect a speed at least one level lower.

Driver, Fig. 1(1A)

The driver is used exclusively for work between both cent-

ers.

Face plate, ﬁg. 1(1B)

The face plate is used with ﬂat larger tools.

Change of the clamping tools, Fig. 4

• Loosen grub screw on the shaft of the clamping tool.

• Retain spindle with mandrel, release the clamping tool

with the hexagonal spanner.

Tailstock, Fig. 1(2)

• Once the eccentric clamp (2C) has been loosened, the

tailstock can be moved over the entire length of the

bed and can be secured at any distance from the head-

stock.

• To insert a workpiece between the centers, loosen the

binder (2B), turn the sleeve approx. 20 mm outward and

clamp.

• Loosen the eccentric release handlethe (2C). Slide the

tailstock to the workpiece and place the tailstock center

into the sunken point in the center of the workpiece.

• Screw out the tailstock sleeve until the tailstock center

rests securely in the wood. Retighten the binder (2B).

• Turn the workpiece to see if it rests securely between the

two centers and can be rotated freely.

Tailstock center replacement, Fig. 1(2A)

• Loosen the binder (2B).

• Turn tailstock spindle sleeve totally backwards until the

tip can be removed.

Tool holder, Fig. 1(3)

• The tool holder both insures safe use of wood turning

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 (3B). 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 work-

piece.

Check the adjustment once again by rotating the work-
