Faceplate: The metal disc that threads onto the

headstock spindle.

Faceplate Turning: Turning situation in which

the grain of the turning stock is at right angles
to the lathe bed axis.

Backing Block: A sacrificial piece of wood glued

to the base of the workpiece and screwed to
the faceplate. Often used to prevent mount­ing marks from appearing on the completed
workpiece.

Headstock: The cast metal box to which the

motor is attached and contains the spindle,
bearings, belts, and electrical components for
operating the lathe.

Index Head: The mechanism that allows the

headstock spindle to be locked at specific
intervals for layout or other auxiliary tasks.

Outboard Turning: Turning of workpiece with

the headstock situated at the far end of the
lathe so the work done is not over the bed of
the lathe.

Roughing Out: Taking stock from square billet to

round blank.

Spindle: This term has two meanings. First, it

refers to the threaded shaft in the headstock
to which the faceplate is attached. Second, it
refers to any work that is spindle-turned.

Spindle-Turning: Work performed where the

grain and length of the workpiece are parallel
to the axis of the bed.

Additional Safety for Wood Lathes

Serious injury or death can occur from getting entangled in, crushed between, or struck
by rotating parts on a lathe! Rotating workpieces can come loose and strike operator or
bystanders with deadly force if they are improperly secured, rotated too fast, or are not strong
enough for the rotational forces required for turning. Improper tool setup or usage can cause
tool kickback or grabbing, resulting in impact injury or entanglement. To reduce the risk of
operator (or bystander) injury or death, anyone operating this machine MUST completely heed
the hazards and warnings below.

CHECK WORKPIECE INTEGRITY. Verify each

workpiece is free of knots, splits, nails, or foreign
material to ensure it can safely rotate on spindle
without breaking apart or causing tool kickback.

PROPERLY PREPARE WORKPIECE.
Before mounting, cut off waste portions to
balance workpiece for safe rotation and remove
large edges that can catch on tooling.

SECURE LOCKS. Verify tool rest, headstock,
and tailstock are secure before turning lathe ON.

SECURE WORKPIECE. Use proven setup
techniques and always verify workpiece is
well-secured before starting lathe. Only use
high-quality fasteners with non-tapered heads for
faceplate attachment.

ADJUST TOOL SUPPORT. An improperly sup­ported tool may be grabbed or ejected. Adjust tool
rest approximately

1

⁄8" above workpiece center line to provide proper
support for turning tool. Firmly hold turning tool
with both hands against tool rest.

1

⁄4" away from workpiece and

WEAR PROPER PPE. Always wear a face shield
and safety glasses when operating lathe. Do not
wear gloves, necktie or loose clothing. Keep long
hair away from rotating spindle.

USE CORRECT SPEEDS. Select correct spindle
speed for workpiece size, type, shape, and
condition. Use low speeds when roughing or when
turning large, long, or non-concentric workpieces.
Allow spindle to reach full speed before turning.

AVOID TOOL KICKBACK. This occurs when
turning tool is grabbed or ejected from workpiece
with great force. Commonly caused by poor
workpiece selection/preparation, improper tool
usage, or improper machine setup or tool rest
adjustment.

SAFELY PERFORM ROUGHING. Use correct
tool. Take light cuts, use low speeds, and firmly
support tool with both hands.

USE SHARP TOOLS. Sharp tools cut with
less resistance than dull tools. Using dull tools
increases the risk of tool kickback or grabbing.

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

REMOVE ADJUSTMENT TOOLS. Remove all
chuck keys, wrenches, and adjustment tools
before turning lathe ON. These items can become
deadly projectiles when spindle is started.

CHECK CLEARANCES. Before starting spindle,
verify workpiece has adequate clearance by
hand-rotating it through its entire range of motion.

-10 -

SAFELY STOPPING ROTATION. Always allow
rotating workpiece to stop on its own. Never put
hands or another object on workpiece to stop it.

SAFELY MEASURE WORKPIECE. Only measure
workpiece after it has stopped. Trying to measure
a spinning workpiece increases entanglement
risk.

SANDING/POLISHING. To reduce entanglement
risk, remove tool rest before sanding. Never
completely wrap sandpaper around workpiece.

Model G0766 (Mfd. Since 07/15)

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: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to

a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, con­sult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure 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 can
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
be in good condition and contain a ground wire
and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must
meet the following size requirements:

Grounding 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. Only insert plug into a matching receptacle
(outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT modify the provided plug!

No adapter should be used with plug. If
