Assembly (figure 2 - 8)

Due to packing reasons, your woodturning lathe will be delivered 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 remove the headstock before the assembly.

6 Attach both feet to the lathe bed and fasten the screws tightly. Fig. 8

7 Now attach the tool support to the lathe bed, the face-plate to the headstock and insert the tailstock centre in the barrel.

8 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 machine!

Reversing switch, Fig. 6

Your turning machine is equipped with a reversing switch. The motor is always switched on and off using the operating 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 running. When the reversing switch is in 0-position it switches 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 composition 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 adjusted 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.

Overload protection Fig.9 (F)

In the event of an overload, the machine switches the motor off.

Once the motor has cooled down, press the button (F). It is now possible to start work again.

Driver, Fig. 1.1, B

The driver is used exclusively for work between both centers.

Face plate, figure 1.1, A

The face plate is used with flat larger tools.

Changing the tensioning tools. Fig. 10

Unfasten the headless set screw on the shaft of the face-plate.

Rotate manually until the stopper bar snaps into place.

Remove the face-plate from the spindle by rotating it counter-clockwise.

Changing the carrier Fig. 11

The carrier is located in the cone of the spindle and is released by slightly knocking the stopper bar.

Attention!! When exchanging the tools, always clean the cone from dust and shavings.

Tailstock, figure 12

• Once the eccentric clamp has been loosened, the tailstock can be moved over the entire length of the bed and can be secured at any distance from the headstock.
• To insert a workpiece between the centers, loosen the binder, turn the sleeve approx. 20 mm outward and clamp.
• 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.
• Turn the workpiece to see if it rests securely between the two centers and can be rotated freely.

Tailstock center replacement, Fig. 12

• Loosen the binder (5).
• Turn tailstock spindle sleeve totally backwards until the tip can be removed.

Headstock, Fig. 13

The headstock is moveable and can be clamped into any position with the lever 1C.

By moving the headstock by 180^ , work pieces with a diameter of up to 500 mm can be worked with the extension console (accessory).

Tool holder, Fig. 14

- 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. 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. 45^ to either side.
• To work with a plane surface, turn the tool holder 90^ 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 workpiece.
• If the headstock is swivelled, then the tool rest with the extension is to be used (Fig. 11).
• Therefore it is inserted from the left of the headstock so that larger discs can be processed.

Use of wood turning tools, Fig. 15

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 instructions in „Electrical connection“.

Operations

A perfect and sharp wood turner tool is a precondition for professional wood-turning.

Selection of materials

• Wood to be turned must be of good quality and without 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 centrifugal 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. 16)

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

Marking of the workpiece, figure 17

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.

By means of the spindle locking bolt (E1), you can lock the spindle.

12 screenings with respectively 30^ are possible by marking out.

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 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 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 hazardous.

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 regulations applicable in your country.

Single-phase motor

• The mains voltage must coincide with the voltage specified on the motor's rating plate.
• Extension cables up to a length of 25 m must have a cross-section of 1.5 mm ^2 , and beyond 25 m at least 2.5 mm ^2 .
• The connection to the mains must be protected with a 16 A slow-acting fuse.

Only a qualified electrician is permitted to connect the machine and complete repairs on its electrical equipment. In the event of enquiries please specify the following data:

• Motor manufacturer
  • Type of current of the motor
• Data recorded on the machine's rating plate
• Data recorded on the switch's rating plate
  If a motor has to be returned, it must always be dispatched with the complete driving unit and switch.

Maintenance

• Overhauls, maintenance work, cleaning, as well as the elimination of any malfunctions must only be undertaken after turning off the motor.
- All protective and safety equipment must be reinstalled immediately upon completion of any repair or maintenance work.
- Clean and lightly oil the spindle thread of the tool holder when changing tools.
- When possible, the tail stock sleeve should be removed by unscrewing it, cleaned and then sprayed with a dry lubricant. Grease the threaded spindle.
- Check the eccentric clamp of the tailstock as well as the tool holder and adjust if necessary. In addition, tighten the hex nut under the bracket.
- Check the drive belt and replace when necessary.

Accessories
