4.

Overload protection

i

Wait approx. 1 second after switching off the machine manually or after an 

automatic switchdown following an overload before switching it on again. This will 

ensure that the motor is protected effectively in all work situations.  Otherwise the 

machine may not run up again because the electronics relay could did not have 

enough time to react.  
 

5. Safety 

Instructions 

1.  The feed line for the motor must be connected to a sealed contact socket or junction box. 

(Have the socket or junction box checked by an electrician beforehand; protection against 

children being able to put into operation). 

2.  The socket or junction box must be close enough to the equipment, so that the live cable is 

subjected to no tensile strain whatsoever. 

3.  When maintenance or cleaning work is done, the machine must be shutdown and the mains 

plug pulled out. 

4. 

Do not slow down workpieces or chucks by hand or any other objects. 

5. 

Wear safety goggles when working with the machine. 

6.  Do not remove the chips with the hand. Use corresponding aids (hand brush, hook, paint 

brush). 

7. 

Always keep the protective hood of the drive closed. 

8. 

The turning tools must be tightly clamped at the correct height and as short as possible. 

9. 

The turning tools must never be replaced when the machine is running. 

10. 

Never leave the clamping chuck key in (even when not in operation).

11.  Always pay attention to the clamping width of the lathe chuck. (lathe chucks 

∅

 max. 40mm, 

drill chucks max. 100mm 

∅

). 

12. 

Never take measurements on work pieces during the lathing process 

(risk of accidents 

and damage to the measuring gauges) 

13.  Do not wear loose clothing (ties, shirt sleeves, jewellery etc.). 

14.  When working between centres, always centre well in order to prevent the workpiece from 

being slung away. In addition, make sure that the locking screw of the tailstock is tightened. 

15.  When using the automatic feed always take care that the cross support does not get in contact 

with the chuck or the tailstock. 

16.  Never leave the machine alone when in operation. 

17. 

When machining wood, use the lathe centre instead of the lathe chuck to support the 

work piece. 

18.  The machine must be secured so that it cannot be switched on by children. Make sure that 

other people do not operate the machine. 

19.  Always keep the machine dry. 

20.  Frequently check the machine for damage. Any damaged parts must be replaced by original 

parts and are to be fitted by an expert or by us.
