RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
To help ensure safe operation, please take a moment to learn the machine’s applications and limitations, as well as potential hazards. General® International disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury that
may result from improper use of its equipment.
1. Do not operate the wood turning lathe when tired,
distracted, or under the effects of drugs, alcohol or
any medication that impairs reflexes or alertness.
2. The working area should be well lit, clean and free
of debris.
3. Keep children and visitors at a safe distance when
the wood turning lathe is in operation; do not per
mit them to operate the wood turning lathe.
4. Childproof and tamper proof your shop and all
machinery with locks, master electrical switches
and switch keys, to prevent unauthorized or unsupervised use.
5. Stay alert! Give your work your undivided atten-
tion. Even a momentary distraction can lead to serious injury.
6. Fine particulate dust is a carcinogen that can be
hazardous to health. Work in a well-ventilated area
and whenever possible use a dust collector and
wear eye, ear and respiratory protection devices.
7. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets,neck-
laces or other jewelry while the wood turning lathe

9. Keep hands well away from the spindle, the spin
ning workpiece, and all moving parts. Use a brush,
not hands, to clear away chips and dust.
10. Do not use stock containing defects such as che-
cks, splits, cracks, knots or foreign objects. Before
starting, inspect stock and remove all foreign objects such as dirt, nails, staples or any object that
could damage a tool or become dislodged and
fly free and cause injury.
11. Select appropriate turning speed for the size and
type of workpiece being turned and use lowest
speed when starting a new workpiece.
12. Before turning on the wood turning lathe, make
sure the workpiece is securely installed between
centers and that all locking levers and moveable
or removable parts are tightened down and secured.
13. Adjust the tool rest parallel and as close as possible
to the workpiece and before starting the wood turning lathe turn the workpiece by hand, at least one
full rotation to make sure that it does not come in
contact with the tool rest.
14. Maintain turning tools with care. Keep turning tools
sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
15. Avoid working from awkward or off balance posi
tions. Do not overreach and keep both feet on floor.
16. Keep guards in place and in working order. If a

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. The motor
of this machine is wired for 110V single phase operation and is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3prong grounding plug to fit a grounded type receptacle A. Do not remove the 3rd prong (grounding pin) to
make it fit into an old 2-hole wall socket or extension
cord. If an adaptor plug is used B, it must be attached
to the metal screw of the receptacle.
Note: The use of an adaptor plug is illegal in some
areas. Check your local codes. If you have any doubts
or if the supplied plug does not correspond to your
electrical outlet, consult a qualified eletrician before
proceeding.
EXTENSION CORD
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with your machine make sure the cord rating is suitable for the
amperage listed on the motor I.D. plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The accompanying chart shows the correct size extension cord to be used based on cord
length and motor I.D. plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the number, the heavier
the gauge.

BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE, VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR POWER SUPPLY CORRESPONDS
WITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D. NAMEPLATE. A POWER SOURCE WITH GREATER VOLTAGE THAN NEEDED CAN
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE.IF IN DOUBT,CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE.
THIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN WET OR DAMP LOCATIONS.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

CIRCUIT CAPACITY
Make sure that the wires in your circuit are capable of handling the amperage draw from your machine, as well as
any other machines that could be operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regularly, your machine may be operating on a circuit that is close to its
amperage draw capacity. However, if an unusual amperage draw does not exist and a power failure still occurs,
contact a qualified technician or our service department.

Notes
MOUNTING A WORKPIECE TO THE FACE PLATE
For turning applications where the workpiece cannot be secured between the headstock and tailstock centers
(such as bowl turning) the face plate must be used to secure the workpiece to the headstock spindle.
1. With the face plate removed from the lathe (if needed, refer back to section “Mounting & removing the head-
stock spur center” on page 12), mount the workpiece onto the face plate with wood screws (not included) through the mounting holes from the back of the face plate.Make sure the screws are not so long that they
will enter the area of the workpiece where the material is to be removed.
2. Thread the face plate back on the lathe.
RECOMMENDED OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

A large range of optional aftermarket accessories can be used with this lathe. Your local dealer may be able to
offer suggestions based on what is readily available in your area.
K
ey issues to keep in mind when shopping for aftermarket accessories are:
Headstock and tailstock feature a MT#1 taper –
to avoid damaging the lathe use only headstock
and tailstock centers with a matching taper.
Headstock spindle threads are 3/4” dia x 16
threads per inch (T.P.I.) – to avoid stripping or
damaging the threads, use only threaded headstock attachments (such as face plates and jaw
chucks) that have matching threads.
Here are some optional accessories for increased convenience, accuracy and safety when using your Pen
Turning Mini-Lathe, available from your local General International dealer.
