GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate the machine until you have read thoroughly and understood
completely all instructions, rules, etc. contained in this manual. Failure to comply may result in accidents involving fire, electric shock, or serious personal injury. Keep this owner's manual and review frequently for continuous safe operation.
1. Know your machine. For your own safety, read the owner's manual carefully. Learn its application and limitations, as well as specific potential hazards pertinent to this machine.
2. Make sure all tools are properly earthed.
3. Keep guards in place and in working order. If a guard must be removed for maintenance or cleaning, make sure it is properly replaced before using the machine again.
4. Remove adjusting keys and spanners. Form a habit of checking to see that the keys and adjusting spanners are removed from the machine before switched it on.
5. Keep your work area clean. Cluttered areas and workbenches increase the chance of an accident.
6. Do not use in dangerous environments. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work areas well illuminated.
7. Keep children away. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area.
8. Make workshop childproof. Use padlocks, master switches and remove starter keys.
9. Do not force the machine. It will do the job better and be safer at the rate for which it is designed.
10. Use the right tools. Do not force the machine or attachments to do a job for which they are not designed. Contact the manufacturer or distributor if there is any question about the machine's suitability for a particular job.
11. Wear proper apparel. Avoid loose clothing, gloves, ties, rings, bracelets, and jewellery which could get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
12. Always use safety glasses. Normal spectacles only have impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses.
13. Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. Maintain machine in good condition. Keep machine clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubrication and changing accessories.
15. Disconnect the machine from power source before servicing and when changing the drive belt.
16. To avoid accidental starting, make sure the switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the mains cable.
17. Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power off. Do not leave the machine until it comes to a complete stop.
18. Do not use any power tools while under the effects of drugs, alcohol or medication.
19. Always wear a face or dust mask if operation creates a lot of dust and/or chips. Always operate the tool in a well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use a suitable dust extractor.

ADDITIONAL RULES FOR LATHES
Never attempt to adjust any part of the workpiece whilst the lathe is still in motion. Wait until the workpiece has come to a complete stop.
1. Ensure that chuck keys, tommy bars and similar items are removed before the lathe is started.
2. Always stand to one side when you start the lathe so that if anything does fly off e.g. a loose piece of bark, you will be out of the line-of-fire.
3. When mounting a new piece of timber, rotate the wood through 360o by hand to ensure that it will not hit the tool rest or the bed of the lathe and then start the lathe at its slowest speed. When you are certain that that the work is secure and not too out of balance set the lathe to the normal turning speed.
4. Always check the rotation speed before switching the lathe on to avoid the risk of starting it whilst it is set to run at too high a speed.
5. The speed of the lathe must be adjusted to suit the size, balance, length and condition of the timber being turned. The greater the diameter of the work, the slower the rotation speed needs to be. If the piece you are turning is out of balance, then you must start turning at a low speed, until it is balanced.
6. The tool must rest firmly on the tool rest before it is brought into contact with the rotating wood and must never be lifted off the tool rest as long as it is in contact with the timber.
7. Before sanding, polishing or doing anything else that brings your fingers close to the work, remove the tool rest. Getting your fingers trapped between the tool rest and the work will at least be very painful and may cause serious injury.
8. Never wrap the sandpaper of polishing cloth round the work. If it tightens up it will pull your fingers into contact with the timber and may lead to serious injury.

Unpacking
Bolts securing legs to side of crate
All parts are contained in one crate.
Cut the retaining straps and prise off the lid of the crate. Care must be taken as it is secured with sharp pins.
Using a 13mm spanner, remove the two bolts securing the legs to the side of the crate.
Prise off the front of the crate and lift out the lathe legs. The lathe and legs are extremely heavy and assistance will be required.
Page 6
The legs are connected together by brackets at each end which should be removed and discarded (13mm & 16mm spanners).
Unpack the parts from the accessories box and check that everything is present as shown.
If anything is missing contact your retailer immediately.
With the accessory box and legs removed, the remaining sides of the crate should now be prised apart to leave only the lathe attached to its pallet.
Page 7
Remove Release Levers Remove
The attachment of the legs will be made easier if the headstock, toolrest and tailstock assemblies are temporarily removed from the bed in order to reduce weight.
Using a large flat blade screwdriver, remove the two bed end stops – one located at each end of the lathe.
Release the levers locking the headstock (requires handle from accessory box), banjo and tailstock – then remove each item by sliding off the end of the bed.
Remove the four nuts and washers from the bolts attaching the bed to the pallet and lift clear, laying it on its top face ready to accept the legs.
Using the 8mm hex key, attach the two legs with the eight M10 x 35mm cap head bolts & spring washers supplied.
The leg with the two holes for mounting the Tool Rack is fitted to the headstock end of the bed.
The leg with the four extension bed mounting holes is fitted to the end of the bed with similar holes.
Page 8
Attach one foot to each of the legs.
These can be adjusted to level the lathe bed when it is in its final position.
Invert the bed/leg assembly.
Attach the Tool Rack to the left hand leg with two M8 x 16mm bolts, flat & spring washers.
Refit the headstock, toolrest and tailstock assemblies to the lathe bed.
The headstock is fitted at the tool rack end of the bed.
Replace the two end stops.
Adjusting the Spindle Speed
The lathe has electronic speed control. There are two ranges of speeds which are obtained by changing the position of the drive belt.
To adjust the drive belt position:
1) Open the belt/pulley access door by unscrewing the securing screw with the 3mm hex key. (this screw can be replaced by the knurled head screw supplied but only if the lathe is being used in a non-European Union country)
Page 9
Locking Handle Belt Tensioning Lever
2) Loosen the belt by releasing the locking handle and lifting the tensioning lever. Retighten the locking handle with the lever in this raised position.
3) Position the belt on the left or right sets of pulleys according to which speed range you require.
The High Speed range (left hand pulleys) will provide maximum speed whereas the Low Speed range (right hand pulleys) will provide maximum torque.
Always remove the belt from the larger pulley first.
Re-tension the belt by releasing the locking handle and lowering the tensioning lever. The weight of the motor will provide the correct amount of tension.
Tighten the locking handle in this position. Close the belt cover and re-tighten the
securing screw.

Forward/Reverse Control
The Forward/Reverse switch should never be used when the lathe spindle is still rotating.
Always stop the lathe by using the ON/OFF switch and wait for the workpiece to come to a standstill.
IMPORTANT The lathe should be reversed only if the chuck or faceplate is locked onto the spindle thread (e.g. with a grub screw) or when turning between centres with the morse taper drive centre.
Some chucks are not equipped with any form of locking and should never be used in reverse.
The faceplate supplied with the lathe has two thread-locking grub screws.
Using the Lathe
Fine adjustment of the tail centre is made by unlocking the winding handle locking lever (by half a turn only).
Turn the winding handle to enable the tail centre to be advanced or retracted. It has a travel of 110mm.
To slide the tailstock along the bed, pull up the silver tailstock locking lever.
When it is positioned where required, clamp it firmly in place by pressing the lever down firmly.
Page 12
The height of the tool rest can also be adjusted, using the black locking lever.
This type of lever can be rotated to a more convenient position, without moving the thread, by pulling the lever away from the thread to disengage the ratchet teeth and then rotating it.
The tool rest can be moved along the bed of the lathe.
To release the toolrest pull up the silver tool rest locking lever.
The tool rest can now freely slide along the bed, when it is positioned where required, clamp it firmly in place by pressing the lever down firmly.
Faceplate Turning with Head Rotated
1) Release the Headstock locking cam with the handle provided and slide it towards the centre of the lathe bed.
2) Pull out the spring loaded head locking pin and turn the headstock through ninety degrees so that the spindle is facing forwards. Lock the headstock with the cam handle.
3) Remove the stop pins from both ends of the lathe bed with a large flat bladed screwdriver.
4) Slide the tailstock and toolrest assemblies off the end of the bed.
5) Reposition the toolrest assembly to the left of the headstock as in the photograph.
Page 13
Using the Indexing System
The lathe is fitted with an indexing system which allows the spindle to be locked in any of 36 positions (i.e. at 10 degree intervals). The indexing facility is useful for fluted columns, clock faces and accurate hole placements.
Pin Position A Pin Position B Pin Position C
There are three holes in the headstock casting which will accept the Indexing Pin. These are 20 degrees apart. The spindle has twelve holes 30 degrees apart and a combination of these will enable you to mark your workpiece for evenly spaced features.
Pin Position A is unthreaded and will accept the unthreaded end of the Indexing Pin. This position can be also used to lock the spindle when removing chucks, faceplates etc.
Pin positions B & C are threaded and are used in combination with the threaded end of the Indexing Pin

Routine Maintenance
Remove Cover Plate Unscrew Knob
Loosen Grub Screws
Replacing the Drive Belt
Eventually, the drive belt will become worn and require replacement.
To replace the belt, open the belt/pulley access cover.
Remove the hand wheel from the spindle by loosening the two grub screws and then unscrewing it from the spindle.
Using a cross head screwdriver, remove the cover plate surrounding the spindle to allow access for the belt
Release the tension on the drive belt, as when changing the speed range, and remove the old belt by feeding it over the end of the motor shaft, then over end of the spindle and through the aperture in the headstock casting.
Fit the new belt by reversing this procedure. Apply tension and tighten the locking handle. Ensure that the V­grooves are on the inside of the belt and engaged with the grooves on the pulleys.

1624VEB – Optional Extension Bed
An Extension bed is available as an optional extra. This can be fitted in either of two positions enabling the distance between centres to be increased by
575mm (22 ½”) or maximum bowl
diameter to 700mm (28”).
The bed is supplied with four M10 x 30mm Socket Head Mounting Bolts and a tool rest extension (for use when bowl turning).
To Extend the Lathe Bed for Between Centres Turning
Remove the Stop Pin from the tailstock end of the lathe bed using a large flat bladed screwdriver.
Attach the Extension Bed casting to end of the main bed with the four M10 bolts, flat and spring washers. Before finally tightening the bolts ensure that the top surfaces of the beds are exactly level & aligned and that the tailstock can slide smoothly over the joint.
Fit the Stop Pin to the extended bed
To Increase the Bowl Turning Capacity
Remove the Stop Pin from the tailstock end of the lathe bed.
Remove the Tailstock and Tool Rest by sliding them along the lathe bed.
Bolt the Extension Bed to the leg casting using into the lower holes at the tailstock end of the lathe.
Slide the Tool Rest assembly onto the bed extension and fit the Stop Pin to prevent it accidentally falling off. Insert the Tool Rest Extension between the Banjo and the Tool Rest Stem.
Release the Cam Lock and slide the headstock until the casting is level with the end of the bed. Lock the headstock in place.
