Machine Description

A lathe removes material from a rotating workpiece
secured to the spindle with a chuck or faceplate. A
cutting tool is mounted in the tool post or tailstock
and moved against the spinning workpiece to
perform the cut.

This micro lathe is great for jewelers, model mak­ers, or hobbyists who want to turn small parts,
but don't have the need (or space) for a full-sized
lathe. It features a 4" swing, 6" distance between
centers, variable-speed spindle, and a 3-jaw
chuck.

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to avoid
accidental slips, which could cause loss of work­piece control.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created while using
machinery may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece material,
and always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear­ing protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise
without hearing protection can cause permanent
hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifica­tions—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury
may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur­ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is
stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec­ommended accessories. Using improper acces­sories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop before
walking away. Never leave machine running
while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep
machine in good working condition. A machine
that is improperly maintained could malfunction,
leading to serious personal injury or death.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect
machine for any condition that may affect safe
operation. Immediately repair or replace damaged
or mis-adjusted parts before operating machine.

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect­ing cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord
may damage the wires inside. Do not handle
cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic
areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly.

Additional Safety for Metal Lathes

Serious injury or death can occur from getting entangled in, crushed between, or struck by
rotating parts on a lathe! Unsecured tools or workpieces attached to rotating objects can also
strike nearby operators with deadly force. To minimize the risk of getting hurt or killed, anyone
operating this machine MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.

CLOTHING, JEWELRY & LONG HAIR. Tie back

long hair, remove jewelry, and do not wear loose
clothing or gloves. These can easily get caught on
rotating parts and pull you into lathe.

ROTATIN G PAR TS. Always keep hands and body
at a safe distance from rotating parts—especially
those with projecting surfaces. Never hold any­thing against rotating workpiece, such as emery
cloth, that can pull you into lathe.

GUARDING. Guards and covers protect against
injuries from entanglement or flying objects. Always
ensure they are properly installed and positioned
before startup.

ADJUSTMENT TOOLS. Remove all chuck keys,
wrenches, and adjustment tools before turning
lathe ON. A chuck key or other tool left on the lathe
can become a deadly projectile when spindle is
started.

SAFE CLEARANCES. Before starting spindle,
verify workpiece has adequate clearance by hand­rotating it through its entire range of motion.

NEW SETUPS. Test each new setup by standing
to the side of the lathe and starting spindle rotation
at the lowest speed until workpiece reaches full
speed and you can verify safe rotation.

SPINDLE SPEEDS. Using spindle speeds that are
too fast for the workpiece or clamping equipment
can cause rotating parts to come loose and strike
nearby people with deadly force. Always use slow
spindle speeds with large or non-concentric work­pieces. Never exceed rate RPM of the chuck.

LONG STOCK SAFETY. Long stock can whip
violently if not properly supported. Always support
any stock that extends from the chuck/headstock
more than three times its own diameter.

CLEARING CHIPS. Metal chips can be razor
sharp. Avoid clearing them by hand or with a rag.
Use a brush or vacuum instead.

SECURE WORKPIECE. An improperly secured
workpiece can fly off spindle with deadly force.
Make sure workpiece is properly secured before
starting the lathe.

STOPPING SPINDLE. Always allow spindle to
completely stop on its own. Never put hands or
another object on a spinning workpiece to make it
stop faster.

CRASHING. A serious explosion of metal parts
can occur if cutting tool or other lathe component
hits rotating chuck or a projecting part of work­piece. Resulting metal fragments can strike nearby
people and lathe will be seriously damaged. To
reduce risk of crashing, NEVER leave lathe unat­tended, and CHECK all clearances before starting
lathe.

SANDING/POLISHING. To reduce risk of entan­glement, never wrap emery cloth around rotating
workpiece. Instead, use emery cloth with the aid
of a tool or backing board.

MEASURING WORKPIECE. To reduce risk of
entanglement, never measure a spinning work­piece.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Before installing the machine, consider the avail­ability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.

Electrocution, fire, or
equipment damage may
occur if machine is not
correctly grounded and
connected to the power

The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.

The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over­loading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the specified circuit requirements.

For your own safety and protection of

Note: The circuit requirements listed in this man-

ual apply to a dedicated circuit—where only one
machine will be running at a time. If this machine
will be connected to a shared circuit where mul­tiple machines will be running at the same time,
consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the
circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power sup­ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

This machine is prewired to operate on a power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec­essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service per­sonnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon­nect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.

We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine.
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must
contain a ground wire, match the required plug
and receptacle, and meet the following require­ments:

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current.

This machine is equipped with a power cord that
has an equipment-grounding wire and a ground­ing plug (similar to the figure below). The plug
must only be inserted into a matching receptacle
(outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
