•
Make
all
adjustments with the power OFF.
•
ALWAYS use the slowest speed when starting a new workpiece, and cut at
correct speed for material and shape.
•
ALWAYS remove the tool rest when sanding or polishing.
•
When turning between centres, always ensure that the tailstock centre is snug
against the workpiece, with the spindle locked, AND the Tailstock securely
locked to the bed. NEVER loosen the tailstock spindle OR the tailstock with the
workpiece turning.
NOTE: The centre should be lubricated (unless it is a ball bearing type). Refer to
your wood turning manual.
•
DO NOT drive the workpiece into the live centre when the centre is installed
in the headstock. Always set the workpiece into the centre with a soft mallet
first and then mount the Centre (with workpiece attached), to headstock
spindle.
•
When using the Faceplate, ensure the workpiece is securely fastened to it,
and that the appropriate size faceplate is used to correctly support the
workpiece. Ensure also that the securing screws cannot interfere with the
turning tool at the finished dimension.
•
ALWAYS rough cut the workpiece as close as possible to the finished shape,
before mounting on to a faceplate.
•
ALWAYS examine the workpiece for flaws. Do not use wood which is split, or
has knots. Test glued joints before mounting on to lathe, to ensure they have
completely set.
•
When roughing off, DO NOT jam tool into workpiece, or take too big a cut.
•
ALWAYS clean the machine at the end of a working session. Remove centres
from the headstock AND tailstock and store them. Ensure the work area is
cleaned before leaving the machine.
•
Should any part of the lathe be missing, damaged, or fail in any way, or any
electrical component fail to perform properly, shut OFF the machine, and
disconnect from the power supply. Replace missing, damaged or failed parts
before resuming operation. If in doubt, consult your local dealer. Always
disconnect from the power supply when carrying our repairs.
•
Be particularly careful with your clothing when operating a lathe. Always
wear safety glasses, and long hair should be contained. See General Safety
Instructions - Apparel.
•
Do Not exceed recommended speeds. Refer to chart on page 12.

Slip the belt over the motor pulley, and replace it with a new one.
Note: The drive belt is tensioned automatically. If, after changing the drive
belt, the speeds are still too low, it is an indication that the spring tensioner
(item 28), on the end of the motor shaft, is weak and needs replacing. Consult
