Additional Safety for Wood Lathes
MAIN INJURY HAZARDS: Death or crushing injury from getting entangled in rotating spindle
or workpiece; death, blindness, or broken bones from being struck by a workpiece that breaks
apart or comes loose during rotation, turning tool kickback, or flying wood chips. To minimize
your risk of these hazards, always heed the following warning information:
INTEGRITY OF STOCK. 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 turning tool kickback.
WORKPIECE PREPARATION. Before mounting,
cut off waste portions with a bandsaw or other tool
to ensure workpiece has no large edges to catch
turning tool, and it will rotate without dangerous
wobbling.
SECURING LOCKS. Verify tool rest, headstock,
and tailstock are secure before turning lathe ON.
SECURING WORKPIECE. An im p r operl y se c ur ed
workpiece can fly off spindle with deadly force.
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.
TOOL SUPPORT. An improperly supported tool
may be grabbed or ejected. Adjust tool rest
approximately
above workpiece center line to provide proper
support for turning tool. Firmly hold turning tool
with both hands against tool rest.
TOOL KICKBACK. Occurs when turning tool is
ejected from workpiece with great force, striking
operator or bystanders. Commonly caused by
poor workpiece selection/preparation, improper
tool usage, or improper machine setup or tool rest
adjustment.
ADJUSTMENT TOOLS. Remove all chuck keys,
wrenches, and adjustment tools before turning
lathe ON. A tool left on the lathe can become a
deadly projectile when spindle is started.
1
⁄4" away from workpiece and 1⁄8"
EYE/FACE PROTECTION. Always wear a face
shield and safety glasses when operating lathe.
PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear gloves, necktie
or loose clothing. Keep keep long hair away from
rotating spindle.
SPEED RATES. 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.
NEW SETUPS. Test each new setup by starting
spindle rotation at the lowest speed and standing
to the side of the lathe until workpiece reaches full
speed and you can verify safe rotation.
ROUGHING. Use correct tool. Take light cuts,
use low speeds, and firmly support tool with both
hands.
SHARP TOOLS. Only use sharp turning tools—
they cut with less resistance than dull tools. Dull
turning tools can catch or grab and pull your
hands into the rotating workpiece.
STOPPING SPINDLE. Always allow spindle to
completely stop on its own. Never put hands or
another object on spinning workpiece.
ADJUSTMENTS/MAINTENANCE. Make sure
wood lathe is turned OFF, disconnected from
power, and all moving parts a re co mpl ete l y s top pe d
before doing adjustments or maintenance.
MEASURING WORKPIECE. Only measure workpiece after it has stopped. Trying to measure a
spinning workpiece increases entanglement risk.
SAFE CLEARANCES. Before starting spindle,
verify workpiece has adequate clearance by handrotating it through its entire range of motion.
-8-
SANDING/POLISHING. To reduce entanglement
risk, remove tool rest before sanding. Never completely wrap sandpaper around 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: 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 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:
Grounding & Plug 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

Physical Environment
Place this machine near an existing power source.
Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight
of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon
which the machine is placed will bear the weight
of the machine, additional equipment that may be
installed on the machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will be used. Additionally, consider the
weight of the operator and any dynamic loading
that may occur when operating the machine.
Space Allocation
Consider the largest size of workpiece that will
be processed through this machine and provide
enough space around the machine for adequate
operator material handling or the installation of
auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,
leave enough space around the machine to open
or remove doors/covers as required by the maintenance and service described in this manual.
See below for required space allocation.
Children or untrained people
may be seriously injured by
this machine. Only install in an
access restricted location.
The physical environment where the machine is
operated is important for safe operation and longevity of machine components. For best results,
operate this machine in a dry environment that is
free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemicals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.
Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are
generally those where the ambient temperature
range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity
range exceeds 20–95% (non-condensing); or the
environment is subject to vibration, shocks, or
bumps.
Electrical Installation
Make sure all power cords are protected from
traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals,
or other hazards. Make sure to leave access to
a means of disconnecting the power source or
engaging a lockout/tagout device, if required.

G0462 Wood Lathe (Mfd. Since 11/14)
Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping
or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur
during operation, resulting in a machine that runs
slightly quieter and feels more solid.
If the machine will be installed in a commercial or
workplace setting, or if it is permanently connected
(hardwired) to the power supply, local codes may
require that it be anchored to the floor.
If not required by any local codes, fastening the
machine to the floor is an optional step. If you
choose not to do this with your machine, we
recommend placing it on machine mounts, as
these provide an easy method for leveling and
they have vibration-absorbing pads.
Anchoring to Floor
Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below)
are a popular way to anchor machinery to a
concrete floor, because the anchors sit flush
with the floor surface, making it easy to unbolt
and move the machine later, if needed. However,
anytime local codes apply, you MUST follow the
anchoring methodology specified by the code.
Assembly
To mount the lathe to the stand:
1. Stand the legs up approximately 41" apart
and get them reasonably aligned, as shown
in Figure 9.

Stock Inspection &
Requirements
Some workpieces are not safe to turn or may
require modification before they are safe to
turn. Before turning a workpiece, inspect all
workpieces for the following:
• Workpiece Type:This machine is intended for cutting natural
and man-made wood products, and some
plastics. Never attempt to cut any metal,
stone, or rubber workpiece; cutting these
materials can lead to machine damage or
severe injury.
Adjusting Head
The Model G0462 headstock can be positioned
anywhere along the bed and pivoted up to 180˚.
To position the headstock along the length of
the bed:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Loosen the head lock lever shown in
Figure 16.
• Foreign Objects:Nails, staples, dirt, rocks and other foreign
objects are often embedded in wood. While
cutting, these objects can become dislodged
and hit the operator, cause tool grab, or break
the turning tool, which might then fly apart.
Always visually inspect your workpiece for
these items. If they can't be removed, DO
NOT turn the workpiece.
• Large/Loose Knots:Loose knots can become dislodged during
the turning operation. Large knots can cause
a workpiece to completely break in half during turning and cause machine damage and
personal injury. Choose workpieces that do
not have large/loose knots.
• Wet or "Green" Stock:Cutting wood with a moisture content over
20% causes unnecessary wear on tooling
blades, increases the risk of tool grab, and
yields poor results.
Head Lock
Lever
Figure 16. Head lock lever.
3. Slide the headstock to the desired position,
then retighten the lock lever.
Note: The large hex nut under the headstock
may require occasional adjustment to ensure
proper clamping pressure to the bed. Turn
the hex nut in small increments to fine tune
the clamping pressure, as needed.
• Excessive Warping:Workpieces with excessive bowing or twist-
ing are unstable and unbalanced. Never turn
these workpieces at high speed, or instability
will be magnified and the workpiece can be
ejected from the lathe causing impact injures.
Only turn concentric workpieces!
G0462 Wood Lathe (Mfd. Since 11/14)
If the lathe head unexpectedly moves during
operation, the tool and your hand could be
drawn into the spinning workpiece resulting
in death or crushing injuries. ALWAYS make
sure the head lock lever is tight and the
head pivot pin is seated before operation.

Installing/Removing
Spur Center
The included MT#2 spur center installs in the
spindle and forces the workpiece to spin with the
spindle.
Typically, the spur center is driven into the
workpiece (see Spindle Turning on Page 27 for
detailed instructions), then the center is inserted
with the workpiece into the spindle.
Installing Spur Center
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Move the tailstock and tool rest a safe work-
ing distance from the headstock.
3. If the faceplate is installed, remove it (refer to
Page 24 for detailed instructions).
Removing Spur Center
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Hold a clean rag under the spindle or wear a

Installing/Removing
Live Center
The MT#2 live center installs into the tailstock quill
and rotates with the workpiece.
6. Rotate the quill handwheel to draw the quill
back into the tailstock as far as possible without forcing the center to release.
Note: The more the quill is drawn back into
the tailstock, the greater the workpiece support.
Installing Live Center
1. Move the tailstock a safe working distance
from the head and tool rest.
2. Loosen the quill lock lever, then rotate the quill
handwheel clockwise until the quill extends
out from the tailstock about 1", as shown in

7. Tighten the quill lock lever to hold the quill
and center in place.
The tailstock quill lock lever MUST be tight
and firmly secure the quill in place before
beginning operation. Also, the quill should
not protrude from the tailstock more than
2" or the quill will not adequately support
the workpiece. Otherwise, the workpiece
could come loose and fly at the operator
or bystanders resulting in death or serious
personal injury.
Removing Live Center
1. Loosen the quill lock lever.
2. Hold a clean rag under the center or wear a
glove to catch the center when you remove it.
3. Rotate the quill handwheel counterclockwise
to retract the quill back into the tailstock until
the center is forced out.
3. Make sure the live center and the inside of
the quill are free of debris and oil substances
that could interfere with the proper mating of
these parts.
4. Insert the tapered end of the live center into
the quill with a quick, firm motion.
5. Make sure the center is secure by attempting
to pull it out by hand—a properly installed
center will not pull out by hand.

Installing/Removing
Faceplate
The faceplate is used when you need to remove
material from the face of the workpiece, such as
during hollowing operations. The faceplate can be
installed only if the spur center is removed from
the spindle.
To install the faceplate:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. If the spur center is installed, remove it (refer to Page 22 for detailed instructions).
3. Make sure the internal threads of the face-
plate and the threads of the spindle are free
of any debris, then wipe the threads with a
lightly oiled rag to aid in the installation and
removal.
4. Thread the faceplate onto the spindle clockwise.
5. Use the two included 32mm flat wrenches to
tighten the faceplate, as shown in Figure 25.
Figure 25. Tightening the faceplate onto the

Adjusting Spindle
Speed
Spindle speed must be adjusted while lathe
is running. Adjusting spindle speed while
machine is not in operation could result in
permanent damage to the machine not covered under warranty.
The Model G0462 is engineered to operate
between 600 and 2400 RPM's. Due to the design
of the pulley system, RPM's outside of this range
cannot be attained.
Use the digital readout as a guide. Select a speed
within the set range by pulling out the speed
control lever and turning it to the right to increase
RPM or to the left to decrease the RPM (see
Figure 26).
Variable
Speed Lever
Always choose the correct spindle speed
for your operation. Using the wrong speed
may lead to the workpiece breaking loose
or being thrown from the lathe at a high rate
of speed, causing fatal or severe impact
injuries.
Refer to the chart in Figure 27 to help choose the
correct spindle speed. Note that both the diameter
of the workpiece and the type of cutting should be
considered when determining the proper spindle
speed.

When turning a workpiece where a lot of material must be removed and a rough finish does not
matter, low range, which has more torque, is best.
When turning a workpiece where a clean finish is
required, and only light cuts are made, high range
is best. Mid range is a compromise between the
two ranges. Use the speed lever to adjust the
spindle speed within each range.

Selecting Turning
Tools
Lathe tools come in a variety of shapes and sizes
and usually fall into five major categories.
Refer to Accessories on Page 31 for examples of
recommended wood chisels from Grizzly.
• Gouges—Mainly used for rough cutting,
detail cutting, and cove profiles. The rough
gouge is a hollow, double-ground tool with
a round nose, and the detail gouge is a hollow, double-ground tool with either a round or
pointed nose. Figure 28 shows an example
of a gouge.
• Scrapers—Mainly used where access for
other tools is limited, such as hollowing operations. This is a flat, double-ground tool that
comes in a variety of profiles (Round Nose,
Spear Point, Square Nose, etc.) to match
many different contours. Figure 30 shows an
example of a round nose scraper.
Figure 30. Round nose scraper.
• Parting Tools—Used for sizing and cutting off work. This is a flat tool with a sharp
pointed nose that may be single- or doubleground. Figure 31 shows an example of a
parting tool.
Figure 28. Gouge.
• Skew Chisel—A very versatile tool that can
be used for planing, squaring, V-cutting,
beading, and parting off. The skew chisel
is flat, double-ground with one side higher
than the other (usually at an angle of 20-40˚).
Figure 29 shows an example of a skew
chisel.

Spindle Turning
Spindle turning, as shown in Figure 32, is the
operation performed when a workpiece is mounted between the spindle and quill centers.
To set up a spindle turning operation:
1. Mark both ends of your workpiece by draw-
ing diagonal lines from corner to corner. The
intersection point of these lines will show you
the center of your workpiece. See the illustration in Figure 33 for details.
Figure 32.
Before beginning any turning operation
that uses the live center installed into the
tailstock quill, make sure the spur and
live centers are properly aligned (refer to
Aligning Centers on Page 37 for detailed
instructions). Failure to heed this warning
could result in the workpiece being thrown
from the lathe resulting in death, blindness,
or broken bones.
Typical spindle turning operation.
Figure 33. Workpiece marked diagonally from
corner to corner to determine the center.
2. Use a wood mallet to tap the point of the spur
center into the workpiece where the lines
intersect so that it leaves a center mark, then
remove the center. Do this to both ends of the
workpiece.

3. Use a
the center mark on the workpiece end that
will be mounted on the spindle spur center.
4. To help embed the spur center into the
workpiece, cut
same workpiece end along the diagonal lines
marked in Step 1.
5. If your workpiece is over 2" x 2", cut the corners off the workpiece length-wise to make
turning the corners safer and easier.

spur center into the spindle.
8. With the live center installed in the quill, draw
the quill back into the spindle as far as possible without forcing the center to release.
Note: This will give the quill and center the
greatest amount of support to safely hold the
workpiece during operation.
9. Loosen the tailstock lock lever, slide the
tailstock toward the workpiece until the live
center touches the workpiece centerpoint,
then lock the tailstock in this position.

12. Test the setup by hand-turning the workpiece
to make sure there is enough clearance all
the way around before turning the lathe ON.
Spindle Turning Tips
• When turning the lathe ON, stand outside the
path of the rotating workpiece until the lathe
reaches full speed and you can verify that the
lathe will not throw the workpiece.
• Use the slowest speed when starting or stopping the lathe, and when rough cutting.
10. Use the quill handwheel to push the live
-28-
1
center into the workpiece at least a
⁄4", then
tighten the quill lock lever to secure the center and quill.
Do not press the live center into the
workpiece too firmly or the center bearings
will bind and overheat. Likewise, do not
press the center too lightly or the workpiece
could come loose and spin off the lathe. Use
good judgement. Serious personal injury
could result if care is not taken in this procedure.
• Select the correct speed for the size of
the workpiece you are turning. Use slower
speeds for large workpieces (4" diameter and
over); use the middle range speeds for medium sized workpieces (2"–4" diameter); and
use faster speeds for small sized workpieces
(under 2" in diameter).
• Keep the turning tool on the tool rest the
ENTIRE time that it is approaching the
workpiece and is in contact with it.
• Learn the correct techniques for each tool
you will use. If you are unsure, read books or
magazines about lathe techniques and seek
training from experienced users.
G0462 Wood Lathe (Mfd. Since 11/14)
Faceplate Turning
Faceplate turning, as shown in Figure 36, is when
a workpiece is mounted to the faceplate that is
then mounted to the spindle. This type of turning
is usually done with open-faced workpieces like
bowls or plates.
2. Use the mark made in Step 1 to center the
faceplate onto the workpiece back, then
attach it with wood screws that do not have
tapered heads as shown in Figure 38.
Figure 38. Attaching the faceplate to a backing
block, which is glued to the workpiece.
3. Thread the faceplate onto the spindle and
tighten securely.
Figure 36. Typical faceplate turning operation.
Attaching Faceplate to Spindle
1. Use the procedure in Spindle Turning on
Page 27 to mark the center of the workpiece.
Note: Cut off the excess corners of the
workpiece to make it as close to "round" as
possible.
DO NOT use screws with tapered heads
to attach the faceplate because they could
split the faceplate, or the screws could snap
off during operation. See the illustration in
Figure 37 for examples.
CorrectIncorrect
Using a Backing Block
If wood screws cannot be used to attach the faceplate to the workpiece, then use a backing block
that is securely glued to the workpiece.
To mount your workpiece to a backing block:
1. Make the backing block from a piece of scrap
wood that is flat on both sides and free of
knots or splits.
2. Locate and mark the center of both the
workpiece and the backing block.

3. Drill a
of the backing block.
4. Looking through the hole in the backing block
to line it up with the center of the workpiece,
glue and clamp the backing block to the
workpiece.

Workpiece
Using the Lathe
Outboard turning is a variation of faceplate turning and is usually done when stock diameter is
greater than 12''. For the size of the Model G0462
and its minimum turning speed, we recommend a
maximum diameter of 17'' for outboard turning.
The lathe setup at 90˚ for outboard turning uses
the tool rest with the pivot arm extended, as
shown in Figure 39.
The lathe can be used for finishing procedures
after the turning operations are complete and
before removing the workpiece from the lathe,
such as sanding, polishing, and applying finishes
by hand (see Figure 41 for an example).
Note: When using the lathe to sand or finish the
workpiece, remove the tool rest to prevent entanglement hazards. Use the slowest speed for safer
control and better results.
Figure 39. Headstock set at 90˚.
Figure 40 depicts the lathe setup at 180˚ for out-
board turning.
Note: When turning in this manner, you must use
a free standing tool rest (not supplied).

Wrapping the sandpaper completely around
the workpiece could pull
your hands into the moving workpiece and may
cause injury. Never wrap

SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious personal injury.
Schedule
For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily Check:
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Worn switch.
• Worn or damaged wires.
• Damaged V-belt.
• Any other unsafe condition.
Tailstock
To remove the quill from the tailstock, loosen
the set screw above the quill handwheel, then
completely unthread the handwheel clockwise
from the quill threads. Loosen the quill lock lever
and remove the quill from the tailstock housing.
Thoroughly clean all of the unpainted parts with
mineral spirits. After these surfaces are dry, apply
a thin coat of light machine oil.
To re-assemble the quill and handwheel, insert the
quill into the casting, then thread the handwheel
counterclockwise onto the quill until it moves
against the casting. Tighten down the set screw
that secures the handwheel, then back the set
screw off one full turn so that the handwheel can
freely rotate.
Lubrication
Cleaning
Cleaning the Model G0462 is relatively easy.
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any
resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner
to remove it.
Remove any debris or oily substances from inside
the spindle and quill.
Lathe Bed
Protect the unpainted cast iron lathe bed by wiping it clean after every use—this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on the bare
metal surfaces. Keep your lathe bed rust-free with
regular applications of quality lubricants.
Since all the bearings for the Model G0462 are
sealed and permanently lubricated, simply leave
them alone unless they need to be replaced. Do
not lubricate them.
Wipe a lightly oiled shop rag on the outside spindle threads. DO NOT allow any oil to get on the
inside mating surface of the spindle.
Use the quill handwheel to extend the quill all the
way out, then wipe the outside of the quill with a
lightly oiled shop rag. DO NOT allow any oil to get
on the inside quill mating surfaces.
G0462 Wood Lathe (Mfd. Since 11/14)
-33-
Motor Shaft Lubrication
The motor shaft must be properly lubricated
to ensure the variable-speed pulley assembly
can open and close smoothly when adjusted.
Any common machine oil is acceptable for this
purpose, but we recommend using a "dry" type
lubricant, such as Grizzly model G2545 or G4682,
to avoid attracting dust and prevent a build-up of
grime.
3. Push tip of oil can nozzle against ball oiler,
then pump can once or twice. Alternatively,
if using a spray-type lubricant, place the end
of the straw against the ball oiler and give it a
quick squirt. Do not over-oil.
4. Turn lathe ON and run for approximately one
minute. Rotate variable-speed lever back and
forth to distribute oil.
To lubricate motor shaft:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Remove plastic cover shown in Figure 49 to
access motor shaft ball oiler.

Aligning Centers
Replacing V-Belt
To ensure accurate and safe results, make sure
that the spindle and quill centers are aligned
before beginning operations.
To align the centers:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Remove the tool rest from the bed.
3. Install the centers, then slide the tailstock up
to the head so that the centers are facing
each other, as illustrated in Figure 50.
The pulley system that allows the Model G0462 to
operate at variable speeds also keeps the V-belt
properly tensioned. However, if the V-belt shows
signs of cracking, splitting, or any other damage,
we recommend you replace it to ensure optimum
power transmission.
To replace the V-belt:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Remove the V-belt safety cover from the
back of the lathe.
3. Pull the motor pulley plates apart so that
the V-belt slips down to the motor arbor, as
shown in Figure 51. This will decrease the
V-belt tension.
Figure 50. Center tips touching to ensure
alignment.
4. Loosen the head lock lever, adjust the head
position so that center tips touch, then retighten the lock lever to hold the head in
place.
Note: If the spur center is lower than the
live center, use shims under the head. If the
live center is lower, use shims under the
tailstock.

4. While keeping the tension off the V-belt, roll it
off the spindle pulley and remove it.
5. Install the new V-belt by reversing Steps
3–4.
6. Re-install the V-belt safety cover before con-
necting the lathe to power.

Wiring Safety Instructions
SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that is connected to a power source is extremely dangerous.
Touching electrified parts will result in personal
injury including but not limited to severe burns,
electrocution, or death. Disconnect the power
from the machine before servicing electrical components!
MODIFICATIONS. Modifying the wiring beyond
what is shown in the diagram may lead to unpredictable results, including serious injury or fire.
This includes the installation of unapproved aftermarket parts.
WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must
be tight to prevent wires from loosening during
machine operation. Double-check all wires disconnected or connected during any wiring task to
ensure tight connections.
CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST follow
the requirements at the beginning of this manual when connecting your machine to a power
source.
WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires
or components increase the risk of serious personal injury, fire, or machine damage. If you notice
that any wires or components are damaged while
performing a wiring task, replace those wires or
components.
MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in
these diagrams is current at the time of printing
but may not match your machine. If you find this
to be the case, use the wiring diagram inside the
motor junction box.
CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors
and power inverters store an electrical charge for
up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from
the power source. To reduce the risk of being
shocked, wait at least this long before working on
capacitors.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you are experiencing difficulties understanding the information
included in this section, contact our Technical
Support at (570) 546-9663.
