Remaining risk factors

WARNING
It is important to ensure that each machine has remaining in the execution of all work (even the simplest) greatest at is required. A safe working depends on you!
Even if the machine is used as required it is still impossible to eliminate certain risk factors totally. The following hazards may arise in connection with the machine construction and design:
- Keeping guards in place. Make sure all guards are in place and that the lathe sits on a flat, stable surface.
- Eye/face protection. Airborne wood dust and debris can be hazardous to the eyes/face and may cause allergies or long-term respiratory health problems. Always wear eye protection or a face shield when operating the lathe.
- Respiratory protection. Always wear a respirator when using this machine. Wood dust may cause allergies or long-term respiratory health problems.
- Mounting work piece. Before starting, be certain the work piece has been properly embedded on the head stock and tail stock centers and that there is adequate clearance for the full rotation.
- Adjusting tool rest. Adjust tool rest to provide proper support for the turning tool you will be using. Test tool rest clearance by rotating work piece by hand before turning lathe on.
- Turning speed. Select the correct turning speed for your work, and allow the lathe to gain full speed before using.
- Using sharp chisels. Keep lathe chisels properly sharpened and held firmly in position when turning.
- Operating damaged lathe. Never operate the lathe with damaged or worn parts.
- Work piece condition. Always inspect the condition of your work piece. Do not turn pieces with knots, splits, and other potentially dangerous conditions. Make sure joints of glued-up pieces have high quality bonds and won't fly apart during operation.
- Adjustments/maintenance. Make sure your wood lathe is turned off, disconnected from its power source, and all moving parts have come to a complete stop before starting any inspection, adjustment, or maintenance procedure.
- Stopping lathe. Do not stop the lathe by using your hand against the work piece. Allow the lathe to stop on its own.
- Avoiding entanglement. Keep long hair and loose clothing articles such as sleeves, belts, and jewelry items away from the lathe spindle.
- Face plate turning. When face plate turning, make sure the face plate is securely attached to the work piece and it is properly attached to the spindle. When face plate turning, use lathe chisels on the downward spinning side of work piece only.
- Sanding/polishing. Remove the tool rest when performing sanding or polishing operations on the rotating spindle.
- Material Removal Rate. Attempting to remove too much material at once may cause the workpiece to fly out of the lathe.
- Kickback is a sudden reaction. This causes the tool to be ejected toward the operator.
- These risk factors can be minimized by obeying all safety and operating instructions, performing proper machine maintenance, and ensuring proficient and appropriate operation by persons with technical knowledge and experience.

5.2 Unpacking and cleanup
- Remove the woodworking lathe from the box.
- Check all the accessories of the machine tool according to the packing list.
- Choose a location for the lathe that is dry, has good lighting and has enough room to be able to service the lathe on all four sides.
- To avoid twisting the bed, the lathe's location must be absolutely flat and level.
- Clean all rust protected surfaces using a mild commercial solvent, kerosene or diesel fuel. Do not use paint thinner, gasoline or lacquer thinner. These will damage painted surfaces. Cover all cleaned surfaces with a light film of 20V machine oil.
5.3 Preparatory activities
1. Workplace requirements
● The workplace has to fulfill the requirements. ● The ground has to be even, in level and hard.
- The chosen workplace must have access to a suitable electric supply net that complies with the machine's requirements.
2. Preparation of the surface
- Uncoated metal machine parts have been insulated with a greasy layer to prevent corrosion.
- This layer has to be removed. You can use standard solvents that do not damage the machine surface.
5.4 Assembly
Tool shelf:
Attach the tool shelf with two hexagon socket button head screws M10×25 to the lathe bed.

POWER SUPPLY
The connection of the machine to the electric power supply and the following checks have to be carried out by a respectively trained electrician only.
- The electronic connection of the machine is designated for operation with a grounded power socket! ● The mains supply must be secured with 10A.
- If the connector plug doesn't fit or if it is defective, only qualified electricians modify or renew it! ● The grounding wire should be held in green-yellow. ● A damaged cable has to be exchanged immediately!
- Check whether the feeding voltage and the Hz comply with the required value of the machine. A deviation of feeding voltage of ±5% is allowed. ● After connecting, check the right running direction!
- Make sure that a possible extension cord is in good condition and suitable for transmission of power. An undersized cord reduces the transmission of power and heats up.
6.1 Grounding instructions
- This tool must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the level of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
- Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the tool – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
- The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
● Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
6.2 Extension cords
The use of extension cords is discouraged; try to position equipment within reach of the power source. If an extension cord becomes necessary, be sure it is heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
ADJUSTMENTS
Tailstock movement
To slide tailstock, push locking handle (C) down toward bed. Push handle up to lock tailstock in position.
To move the quill, loosen handle (D) and rotate handwheel (E).
Make sure the tailstock is locked to the bed (C) and the quill is tightened (D) before turning a spindle on the lathe.

Cam tightness
The clamping mechanisms of the tailstock and tool rest base are pre-set by the manufacturer and should not require adjustment.
If one of them does not tighten properly against the bed when the locking handle is tightened, adjust it as follows.
- Remove the stud from the end of the lathe bed, slide the tailstock off.
- Turn the tailstock on its side, and tighten nut (F) to increase cam pressure, or loosen the nut to relieve cam pressure.
- Mount the tailstock on the bed and lock it to adjust. Repeat as needed.

OPERATION
The information which follows is general in nature and not intended to be a complete course in woodturning. Nothing can replace the knowledge gained by talking with experienced wood turners or consulting books or trade magazines. Above all, simple trial and error will aid in developing proficiency in the craft.
9.1 Inspection
The device must only be operated in perfect condition. Inspect the device visually before each use. In particular, check the safety equipment, electrical controls, electrical cables, and screwed connections for damage and proper tightness. Replace any damaged parts before operating the device.
● Level your machine; use the leveling feet to help reduce vibration. - Check bearings; adjust only if endplay exists. - Check belt; it should be snug but not overly tight. - Bed ways; keep clean, use steel wool to remove any rust spots, and apply wax to prevent buildup of rust and finishes. ● Tool rest; use a mill file to remove nicks and dings. - Spindle tapers; should be clean and free of dust and chips for proper seat tapers. ● Tailstock; clean and lubricate quill and locking device. ● Lighting; proper lighting is essential to eliminate shadows and reduce eye strain.
9.2 Turning Tools
If possible, select only good-quality, high-speed steel turning tools. High-speed steel tools hold an edge and last longer than ordinary carbon steel. As one becomes proficient in turning, a variety of specialty tools for specific applications can be acquired. The following tools provide the basics for most woodturning projects.
Gouges—Mainly used for rough cutting, detail cutting, and cove profiles. The roughing gouge is a hollow, double-ground tool with a round nose, and the detail gouge is a hollow, double-ground tool with either a round or pointed nose.

| Skew Chisel—A very versatile tool that be used for planning, squaring, V-cutting beading, and parting off. The skew chis flat, double-ground with one side higher than the other (usually at an angle of 20°–40°). | ![]() |
| Scrapers—Typically used where access to other tools is limited, such as hollowing operations. This is a flat, double-ground that comes in a variety of profiles (rou nose, spear point, square nose, etc.) to match many different contours. | ![]() |
| Parting Tools—Used for sizing and cutti off work. This is a flat tool with a sha pointed nose that may be single- or do ground. | ![]() |
| Specialty Tools—These are the unique, special function tools to aid in hollowing bowl making, cutting profiles, etc. |
- For safety and best performance, keep tools sharp. If a tool stops cutting or requires excessive pressure to make a cut, it needs to be sharpened. A number of brand name sharpening jigs and fixtures are available; however, a woodturner should learn to sharpen tools freehand.
- For best results, use a slow speed grinder (1800 rpm) fitted with a 60-grit aluminum oxide wheel (for shaping) and a 100-grit aluminum oxide wheel (for fine sharpening and touchup). The grinder should be located near your lathe and at a comfortable height. A diamond dresser will keep the wheels true and eliminate glazing.
- Never allow the tool to rest in one place on the wheel; keep it moving and use a light touch.
- Carbon steel tools can overheat easily and should be cooled frequently. If the edge turns blue, it has lost its temper and should be ground past the blue. High-speed steel tools are not as likely to overheat, but can be damaged if
allowed to get red hot. High-speed steel tools should not be quenched for cooling. Honing with a diamond lap or slipstone will save trips to the grinder and keep the edge fresh.
9.3 Spindle Turning
Spindle turning takes place between the centers of the lathe. It requires a spur center in the headstock and a live or dead center in the tailstock. A cup center rather than a cone center in the tailstock will often reduce the risk of splitting the stock.

9.4 Stock Selection
Stock for spindles should be straight grained and free of checks, cracks, knots, and other defects. It should be cut 1/8" to 1/4" larger than the finished diameter and require additional length so the ends can be removed later. Larger stock should have the corners removed to produce an octagon, making the piece easier to rough into a cylinder.
- With a combination square, or plastic center finder for round stock, locate and mark center on each end of the workpiece. Accuracy is not critical on full but extremely important on stock where square sections are to remain. Put a dimple in the stock with an awl or nail, or use a spring-loaded automatic center punch.
- Extremely hard woods may require kerfs cut into the ends of the stock using a band saw, so the wood will accept the spur center and the live center.

- Drive the spur center about 1/4" into the workpiece, using a wood mallet or blow hammer. Be careful that you do not split the workpiece.

- Make sure headstock is locked to lathe bed.
- Clean tapered end of spur center and inside of headstock spindle.
- Insert tapered end of spur center (with the attached workpiece) into headstock spindle.
- Support the workpiece while bringing the tailstock into position about 1-inch air from end of workpiece. Lock tailstock to bed.
- Advance tailstock quill with the handwheel in order to seat the live center into workpiece. Use enough pressure to secure the workpiece between the centers that it won't fly off, but do not use excessive pressure.
- Tighten quill locking handle.
- Move tool rest into position. It should be parallel to workpiece, just below the center line and approximately 1/8" to 1/4" from the corners of the workpiece turned. Tighten tool rest base to Lathe bed.

- Rotate workpiece by hand to check for proper clearance.
- Start lathe at lowest speed and bring it up to the appropriate RPM for the workpiece used. Consult digital readout on the headstock.
9.5 Cutting Techniques
9.5.1 Roughing Out
- Begin with a large roughing gouge. Place the tool on the tool rest with the tool on the surface to be cut.
- Slowly and gently raise tool handle until cutting edge comes into contact with workpiece.
- Beginning about 2" from the tailstock end of the workpiece, roll the flute (hollowed-out portion) of the tool in the direction of the cut. Make long sweeps in a continuous motion to rough the piece down to a cylinder.

- Keep as much of the bevel of the tool as possible in contact with the work to ensure control and avoid catches. NOTE: Always cut down-hill, or from large diameter to small diameter. Always work toward the end of a work-piece, then start cutting at the end.
- Once the workpiece is roughed down to a cylinder, smooth it with a large skew. Keep the skew handle perpendicular to the spindle and use only the center of the cutting edge for a long smoothing cut (touching one of the points of the skew to the spinning workpiece may cause a catch and ruin the workpiece).
- Add details to the workpiece with a skew, parting tool, scraper, or spindle gouge.
9.5.2 Beads
- Make a parting cut for what is to be a bead to the desired depth. Place the tool on the tool support and move the tool forward to make the full bevel of the tool come into contact with the workpiece. Gently raise the handle to make the cut to the appropriate depth.
- Repeat for the other side of the bead.
- Using a small skew or spindle gouge, start in the center between the two cuts and cut down each side to form the bead. Roll the tool in the direction of the cut.
9.5.3 Coves
- Use a spindle gouge. With the flute of the tool at 90 degrees to the workpiece, touch the point of the tool to the workpiece and roll in towards the bottom of the cove. Stop at the bottom; attempting to go up the opposite side may cause the tool to catch.

- Move the tool over the desired width of the cove.
- With the flute facing the opposite direction, repeat step 1 for the other side of the cove. Stop at the bottom of the cut.
9.5.4 "V" Cuts
- Use the long point of the skew. (NOTE: Do not press the long point of the skew directly into the workpiece to create the "V"; this will result in a burned or burnished "V" with fibers being rolled up at both sides.)
- Lightly mark the center of the "V" with the tip of the skew.
- Move the point of the skew to the right half of the desired width of your cut.
- With the bevel parallel to the right side of the cut, raise the handle and put the tool in to the desired depth.

- Repeat from the left side. The two cuts should meet at the bottom and leave a clean "V" cut.
- Additional cuts may be taken to add to either the depth or width of the cut.
9.5.5 Parting Off
- Use a parting tool.
- Adjust lathe speed to lower RPM for parting through a workpiece.
- Place tool on tool support and raise the handle until it starts to cut and cut toward center of workpiece.
- Loosely hold on to the piece in one hand as it separates from the waste.
9.5.6 Sanding and Finishing
- Leaving clean cuts will reduce the amount of sanding required. Move the tool support out of the way, adjust the lathe to a low speed, and begin with fine sandpaper (120 grit or finer). Coarser sandpaper will leave deep scratches that are difficult to remove, and dull crisp details on the spindle. Progress through each grit without skipping grits (for example, do not jump from 120 grit to 220 grit). Fold the sandpaper into a pad; do not wrap sandpaper around your fingers or workpiece. To apply a finish, the workpiece can be left on the lathe.
- Turn off lathe and use a brush or paper towel to apply the finish. Remove finish before restarting lathe. Allow to dry and sand again with 320 or 400 sandpaper. Apply second coat of finish and buff.
9.6 Face Plate and Bowl Turning
Face plate turning is normally done on the inboard side of the headstock over bed. Larger workpieces must be turned on the outboard side. Rotate headstock to desired position; or remove tailstock and tool support base, and slide headstock to opposite end of bed.
9.6.1 Mounting Stock
Use of a face plate is the most common method for holding a block of wood for bowls and plates:
- Select stock at least 1/8" to 1/4" larger than each dimension on the finished workpiece.
- Always select the largest diameter face plate that can be used for the work to be turned.
- True one surface of the workpiece for mounting against the face plate.
- Using the face plate as a template, mark the location of the mounting holes on the workpiece, and drill pilot holes of the appropriate size. Face plates are drilled for No. 12 screws. (Phillips and square drive screws will hold up better than slotted screws. Sheet metal screws are case hardened with deeper and sharper threads than wood screws.)
If the mounting screws on the face plate interfere with the workpiece, a glue or waste block can be used:
- Make a block the same diameter as the face plate. Both waste block and workpiece should have flat surfaces for gluing.

- Glue the block to the workpiece. Avoid using brown paper or newspaper between the waste block and workpiece. It may work fine if you are using scrapers, but a slight catch with a bowl gouge can separate the two.
NOTE: When using a waste block, be careful with the adhesive you select. Dry workpieces can be bonded with ordinary white or yellow glue but must be clamped to ensure a good bond. Green workpieces require cyanoacrylate type glue.
9.6.2 Faceplate or Chuck
● While faceplates are the simplest, most reliable method of holding a block of wood for turning, chucks can also be used. - As there are dozens of chucks to choose from, the woodturner should first consider all the different types of turning that will be done, and read reports and discuss with other turners who own chucks before making a decision. - A chuck is not a requirement, but is handy when working on more than one piece at a time. Rather than removing screws, you simply open the chuck and change workpieces. ● The most popular ones are four jaw scroll chucks with a variety of jaws to accommodate different size tenons. Most also come with a screw chuck as well.
9.6.3 Wood Selection
Firewood is the cheapest, most widely available stock to use while learning to turn bowls. Simply waste wood for a while practicing turning techniques. Develop skill with each tool before attempting to make a finished piece. It is best to start with dry wood
without worrying about drying or distortion. Once turning becomes comfortable, try green wood which cuts very easily. As the turner gains experience, he or she will discover extraordinary grain and figure in the form of burls, crotches and bark inclusions.
9.6.4 Checks and Cracks
- Green wood will check and crack. For best results, leave logs in as long as you can handle. As the material starts to dry, surface cracks will develop at the ends of the log. Cut off two to three inches and you should find good wood. Also cut the log in half along the pith to avoid having it in the finished piece, as checks radiate from the pith.
- As you turn bowls from green wood, make sure you maintain a consistent wall thickness throughout the piece. Leaving a piece thick in some areas and thin in others will cause the wood to dry unevenly and promote checks and cracks.
9.6.5 Distortion
Distortion is a problem associated with turning green wood. It will vary from one wood to the next. Typically, fruitwoods tend to distort more than others. It also varies with the time of year the tree was cut and how the logs are stored.
9.6.6 Tools for Bowl Turning
- The deep fluted bowl gouge is the most essential and versatile tool for most bowl and plate turning. The bowl gouge is heavier and easier to control than other types of gouges. It also allows removal of wood much faster and with less vibration than other gouges. Most average sized bowl work can be accomplished with a 3/8" or 1/2" bowl gouge.
- A 1/4" bowl gouge is best suited for smaller bowls and light finishing cuts. Larger 3/4" and 1" bowl gouges are only used for extremely large pieces.
- Large domed scrapers can also be used to help clean up the interior surface of bowls. A light touch with the scraper slightly tilted will eliminate some of the ridges occasionally left by an inexperienced bowl gouge.
9.7 Bowl Turning Techniques
9.7.1 To Shape Outside of Bowl
- Odd shaped burls, crotches and other irregular shaped blanks require special preparation before mounting in a chuck or onto a faceplate. Remove the bark, if there is any, from what appears to be the center of the top of the workpiece.
- Drive spur center into the top of the workpiece with a mallet or dead blow hammer.
- Slip the spur center into the headstock taper and bring the tailstock with a live ball bearing center into position. Lock the tailstock to the bed and advance tailstock spindle in order to seat the cup center into the workpiece. Tighten ram locking handle.
- Turn the workpiece by hand to ensure proper clearance.
- Start the lathe at the lowest speed and bring it up to the maximum safe speed for the work to be turned. If the machine starts to vibrate, lower the speed until the vibration stops.
- Rough out the outside of the bowl with the 1/2" deep fluted bowl gouge, holding the handle of the tool firmly against your hip. For best control, use your whole body to move the gouge through the workpiece.
- As the bowl takes shape, work on the bottom (tailstock end) to accommodate attaching a face plate.
- Turn a short tenon (about 1/8" long) the size of the hole in the faceplate. This allows centering the workpiece when the faceplate is attached. (NOTE: If you are to use a chuck, turn a tenon of the appropriate length and diameter to fit the chuck.)

- Stop the lathe, remove the workpiece, and attach the face plate or chuck. The surfaces of the faceplate and workpiece should mount flush to each other.
- Finish turning the outside of the bowl with a 1/2" or 3/8" bowl gouge. Leave additional material at the base of the bowl for support while turning the interior. This will be removed later.
9.7.2 To Shape Interior of Bowl
- Stop the lathe and move the tailstock away. (You may want to remove the center from the tailstock to avoid bumping it with your elbow.)
- Adjust the tool support in front of the bowl just below the center line, at a right angle to the lathe ways.
- Rotate the workpiece by hand to check clearance.
- Face off top of bowl by making a light shearing cut across the top of work from rim to center.
- Place 1/2" bowl gouge on tool support at center of the workpiece with the flute facing top of bowl. The tool handle should be level and pointed toward the o'clock position.
- Use the left hand to control cutting edge of gouge, while right hand swings handle toward your body. The flute should start out facing top of workpiece, rotate upward as it moves deeper into the bowl to maintain a clean even cut. As the tool goes deeper into the bowl, progressively work out toward the rim. It may be necessary to turn the tool support into the piece as you get deeper into a bowl.

- Develop wall thickness at the rim and maintain it as you work deeper into the bowl. (Once the piece is thin toward the bottom, you cannot make it thinner at the rim.) When the interior is finished, move the tool support to exterior to re-define the shape of bowl. (General rule of thumb: the base should be approximately 1/3 the diameter of the bowl).
- Work the tight area around faceplate or chuck with 1/4" bowl gouge.
- Begin the separation with a parting tool, but do not cut all the way through
9.7.3 Sanding and Finishing
- Remove the tool support and adjust lathe speed to approximately 500 RPM. Higher speeds can build friction while sanding and cause heat check in some woods.
- Begin with fine sandpaper (120 grit) and progress through each grit, using light pressure. Coarser sandpaper tends to leave deep scratches that are hard to eliminate. Use power-sanding techniques to avoid concentric sanding marks
around your finished piece. Avoid rounding over the rim and foot with sandpaper; try to keep details crisp. Finish sanding with 220 grit.
- Remove sanding dust with tack rags or compressed air and, with lathe turned off, apply first coat of finish. Let stand for several minutes, wipe off excess. Allow to dry before sanding again with 320 or 400 grit sandpaper.
- Turn lathe back on and continue the separation cut almost all the way through base. Stop at about 3" and use a small fine tooth saw to separate the bowl from the waste.
- Apply second finish coat and allow to dry before buffing.
MAINTENANCE
Before doing maintenance on the lathe, disconnect it from the electrical supply by pulling out the plug or switching off the main switch. Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
10.1 General procedures
- Maintenance on the 1218 lathe should be performed at periodic intervals to ensure that the machine is in proper working order, that all fasteners are tight, and that all necessary adjustments have been made. Inspection and maintenance should be performed at least twice a year, but more frequently if the lathe receives constant use.
- Clean and oil the lathe bed so that headstock, tailstock, and tool rest base slide easily. Clean any rust spots that may develop on the bed with a corrosion remover.
- Use compressed air to blow out the interior of the headstock, in order to keep sawdust and chips from accumulating on belts and sheaves. Also blow off dust that accumulates in the motor fan and around the inverter. Do not disassemble the inverter to clean it!
- Frequently clean out the morse tapers on both headstock and tailstock. Commercially available taper cleaners may be acquired from tool stores. Bearings are permanently lubricated and sealed, and do not require further lubrication.
10.2 Pulley and belt alignment
- The motor and spindle pulleys are aligned with each other by the manufacturer, but if any service is performed that affects their alignment, it is very important they be realigned. Engage spindle lock, loosen two set screws on spindle pulley (E, Figure 9-12) with 3mm hex key, and slide spindle pulley into proper position. Retighten set screws, and disengage spindle lock.
- When pulleys and belt are properly aligned, there should be no unusual pulsating sounds or noise coming from the belt.
10.3 Belt replacement
To change out a belt or pulley, carefully proceed as follows. If you are uncertain about attempting a belt or pulley change-out, contact technical service or take the head to an authorized service center.
- Disconnect lathe from power source.
- Loosen pivot lock handle and lift up tension handle to raise motor.
- Tighten pivot lock handle to secure motor in raised position.
- Slip belt off pulleys.
- Loosen set screws on handwheel.
- Unscrew handwheel from spindle.
- Unsling Ring retaining from spindle.
- Slide spindle a little way out of headstock, just enough to remove pulley or NOTE: If needed, tap end of spindle with a wood block or rubber mallet to Do not use a steel face hammer directly against spindle.
- If replacing a pulley, loosen both set screws, and slide pulley off spindle.
- Install new pulley, loosely securing the two set screws. Make sure pulley is oriented properly and key is inserted properly in spindle groove.
- Slide spindle back into place.
- Reinstall Ring retaining.
- Reinstall handwheel and tighten set screws.
- Align new pulley then tighten both set screws securely on pulley.
- Loosen pivot lock handle and lower motor using tension handle.
