piece 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. Fur-

thermore, 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. Depend-

ing on the wood turning tool, place the tool holder up to

6 mm underneath the axis of the workpiece.

Use of wood turning tools, Fig. 5

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 operating instruc-

tions in „Electrical connection“.

Operations

A perfect and sharp wood turner tool is a precondition for pro-

fessional wood-turning.

Selection of materials

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

out imperfections such as ﬁssures 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. Because the

workpiece can explode as a result of developing cen-

trifugal force, turning such wood demands careful gluing

without weak points.

Note: Beginners should ﬁrst 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 recommended for the

material so that vibrations are reduced.

Centering of the workpiece (Fig. 06)

Centering the prepared workpiece is an important opera-

tion 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 vi-

brations 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-turn-

ing 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 per-

formed when the motor has been turned off.

The tailstock center should rest ﬁrmly in the wood.

• Turn the workpiece by hand to check if it rests secured.

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 ﬁrst.

When placing the workpiece back in the machine, match

the marks on the workpiece and the driver.

Specialized literature

Specialized shops offer appropriate specialized literature

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

in their work as well as a source of ideas for experts.

Electrical connection

The installed electric motor is completely wired ready for

operation.

The customer’s connection to the power supply system,

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 cool-

ing down period that can vary.

Defective electrical connection cables

Electrical connection cables often suffer insulation dam-

age.

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 cable.

• Insulation damage resulting from forcefully pulling out

of the wall socket.

• Cracks through aging of insulation.

Such defective electrical connection cables must not be

used as the insulation damage makes them extremely haz-

ardous.

Check electrical connection cables regularly for damage.

Make sure the cable is disconnected from the mains when

checking.

Electrical connection cables must comply with the regula-

tions applicable in your country.

Single-phase motor

• The mains voltage must coincide with the voltage speci-

ﬁed on the motor’s rating plate.

• Extension cables up to a length of 25 m must have a

cross-section of 1.5 mm2, and beyond 25 m at least 2.5

mm2.

• The connection to the mains must be protected with a

16 A slow-acting fuse.

Only a qualiﬁed electrician is permitted to connect the ma-

chine and complete repairs on its electrical equipment.
