fraction of a second can result insevere personal injury.

BE PREPARED FOR JOB

• Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing,gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get

caught in moving parts of machine.

• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

• Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.

• Wear safety glasses complying with United States ANSI Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses.

They are NOT safety glasses.

• Wear face mask or dust mask if operation is dusty.

• Be alert and think clearly Never operate power tools when

tired, intoxicated or when taking medications that cause

drowsiness.

PREPARE WORK AREA FOR JOB

Keepwork area clean, Clutteredworkareas inviteaccidents, Do notuse powertools in dangerous environments, Do not

use power toolsin damp or wet locations,Do not expose powertools to rain,

Work area shouldbe properlylighted.

• Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.

• Keep childrenout ofworkplace. Make workshop childproof. Use padlocks, master switches or remove switch keys to

prevent any unintentional use of power tools.

TOOL SHOULD BE MAINTAINED

• Always unpluglathe prior to inspection.

• Consult manual for specific maintaining and adjustingpro-

cedures.

• Keep tool lubricated and clean for safest operation.

• Keep all parts in workingorder.Check to determine that

the guard or other parts willoperate properly and perform their intended function.

• Check for damaged parts. Check for alignmentof moving

parts, binding,breakage, mounting and any other condition that may affect a tool'soperation.

• A guard or otherpart that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced. Do not perform makeshift repairs.

(Use parts list providedto order replacement parts.)

• Never adjustcopy crafter while lathe is running. Disconnect powerto avoidaccidental start-up.

Keep cuttingtools sharp for efficientand safest operation.

KNOW HOWTO USE TOOL

Use righttoolforjob. Do notforce tool or attachment to do ajob for which it was not designed.

Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the tool is in the "off" positionbefore pluggingin,turning on safety discon-

nect or activating breakers. Do notforce tool. It willwork most efficientlyat the rate for

whichit was designed. Keephandsaway from chuck,centersand othermovingparts. Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power off

and do not leave tool until it comes toa complete stop. Do not overreach. Keep properfooting and balance.

Never stand on tool. Serious injurycouldoccur iftool is

tipped or if centers are unintentionallycontacted.

Knowyourtool. Learn the tool'soperation, application and specificlimitations.

Handle workpiece correctly.Mount firmly in holding

devices. Protect handsfrom possible injury. Turn machine off if workplace splitsor becomes loose.

Use cuttingtools as recommended in "Operation."

WARNING: Foryourown safety,do notoperateyourcopy crafteruntilit is completelyassembledand installedaccordingto

instructions.

PROTECTION: EYES, HANDS, FACE, BODY, EARS

If any part ofyour copycrafter is missing,malfunctioning,

or has been damaged or broken, cease operating immedi- ately untilthe particular part is properlyrepaired or

replaced.

• Wear safetygogglesthat comply with UnitedStatesANSI

Z87.1 and a face shieldordustmask ifoperationisdusty. Wear ear plugsor muffsduringextendedpedodsofoperation.

Small loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact a spinningworkpieca can be propelledat very high speed. This can be avoided by keeping the work area clean.

• Clean copycrafterand la_e ofalltools,wood scraps,etc.,

exceptworkpiecaand necessarytoolsbeforestartingopera- tJon.

Never place your face or body in line with the chuck or

faceplate.

• Never place your fingersor hands in path of cutting tools.

• Never reach in back of the workpiece witheither hand to

support the piece, remove wood scraps, or for any other

reason.Avoid awkward operations and hand positions

where a sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move

intoa spinning workpiece.

• If the workplace splitsor isdamaged in any way, turn lathe

OFF and removethe workplace from the holders. Discard damaged workpiece and start with a new piece of wood.

• Use extra care when turningwood withtwisted grain or wood that is twisted or bowed -- it may cut unevenlyor

wobbleexcessively.

KNOWYOUR CUTrlNG TOOLS

• Dull, gummy, improperly sharpened or set cutting tools can

cause vibration and chatterduring cutting operations. Minimize potential injuryby proper care of tools and regu-

lar machine maintenance.

THINK SAFETY Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alert-

ness at all times when the lathe is being used.

• For your own safety, read all rules and precautions inthe

operator's manual before using this tool. For eye protection,wear safety glasses complyingwith

United States ANSI Z87.1.

Do notwear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry that could get caught in moving

parts ofmachine or workpiece.Wear protective hair cover- ing to contain long hair.

• Tighten all clamps, fixtures and tailstock before applying power. Check to make sure that all tools andwrenches

have been removed.

With switchoff, rotate workplace by hand to make sure

that there is adequate clearance. Start the machine on lowest speed settingto verify that the workplace is secure.

Do not mount any workpieces that have splits or knots. Never attemptto remounta between-centersturningifthe

originalcenters on theturning have been altered or removed.

When remounting a between-centers turningthat has non-

altered original centers, make sure that the speed is at the lowest settingfor start-up.

• Use extra cautionwhen mounting a between-cantere turn- ing to the faceplate, or a faceplate turning to between-cen-

ters, forsecondary operations. Make sure that the speed is at the lowest settingfor start-up.

• Never perform any operation with this tool where the work- piece is hand-held. Do not mount a reamer, milling cutter,

drillbit, wire wheel or buffingwheel to the headstockspin- dle.

• Never run the spindlein the wrong direction.The cutting tool couldbe pulled from your hands. The workplace

should always turn towards the operator.

• For spindleturning, ALWAYS positionthe tool rest abovethe centedine ofthe workpieceand spindle (approximately_k").

WARNING: Operation of any power tool can resultin foreign

objects being thrown intothe eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles complyingwith

United States ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package) before com- mencing powertool operation.Safety goggles are availableat

Sears retail stores or catalog. CAUTION: Always observe the following safety precautions:

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Whenever adjusting or replacing any parts on the tool, turn switchOFF and remove the plugfrom power source.

• Recheckall lockinghandles.They must betightened secarely

• Make sure all moving partsare free and clear of any

interference.

• Make sure allfasteners are tightand havenot vibratedloose.

• With power disconnected,test operation by hand for clear- ance and adjust if necessary.

• Always wear eye protectionor face shield.

• After turningswitchon, always allow the spindleto come up to full speed before turning.

• Be sure spindle runs counterclockwisewhen viewing

spindle from the tailstockend.

• Keep hands clearof spindle, centers,faceplatas and other movingparts of machine.

• For optimum performance, do not stall motoror reduce speed. Do not force the tool intothe work.

ADJUSTMENT

• Before starting,the cuffingtool must be set approximately %"above the spindle.Check tool heightat both the head-

stockand the tailstock. Verticaladjustment can be made by looseninghandles

whichsecure the verticalbrackets and adding or removing spacers.The tool restbases canalso be moved horizontally

acrossor along the lathebed, towardsor away fromthe spindle.

In orderfor the copy crafter to function properly,the distance fromthe cuttingtool tothe lathe spindlecentadine must be

equal tothe distancefrom the follower assembly to pattern boltcentedine.This can be accomplishedby mountingiden-

ticalsized stockin the lathe and on the patternbolts.Adjust the copy crafter so that the cuffingtool touches the stock mounted inthe latheand the follower assemblytouchesthe stockmounted in the patternbolts.The copycrafter can be

adjusted bymoving the pattern supports,movingthe tool rest basesacross the lathe bedor adjustingthe yokeon the

toolholder.

DUPLICATE TURNING

• Mount the originalinthe pattern bolts.The tool rest bases will need to be adjustedalong the lathe bed to the required

length.

• When startingwitha squarepiece of stock,that willbe reduced to a cylinder, use the turretstopand take light cuts

untilthe cylinderhas beenformed.

NOTE: Do not startout on the end of the workpiece,as the

tool may become caught and damage the workpiece.

• Turn the workpieca to a cylinderslightlylarger than final size. At this time adjust the follower assembly against the

odginal.

• Glide the tool holder along the supportbars to duplicate the odginal piece.

NOTE: Sharp corners and small grooves will only be partially duplicated by the copy crafter.The follower assembly will

need to be removed. Usingcalipers, transfermeasurements from originalto duplicate, and clean up grooves and corners

using fine adjustment screw on carriage.

MISCELLANEOUS OPERATIONS

• The copy craftercan also be used to taper workpieces.To

dothis, offsetthe tool rest bases.

• The copy craftercan be mounted acrossthe bed for copying

ofbowls,cups, etc. byrepositioningtoolrest bases.

• The copy craftercan trace a template as well as an original

spindle.

• The template representsthe profileof the postmeasured from itscentedine.

• The measurements of the post are transferredto a suitable

material such as '/," plywood laid out and cuton a band,saw or scrollsaw.

• The template is then bolted to the pattern supports,parellel

tothe lathe bed.

• Figure 12 on page 7 showsan example br usinga template.
