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.
VERIFY 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 removal
of 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 (and centers/
tooling holding workpiece) are 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.
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.
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.
-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 mounted workpiece after it has completely
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.

or equipment damage
may occur if machine is
not properly grounded
and connected to power
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.
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.)

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

Workpiece Inspection
Adjusting Tailstock
Some workpieces are not safe to turn or may
require modification before they are safe to turn.
Before turning, inspect all workpieces for the
following:
• Workpiece Type:This machine is intended for turning natural
wood products. Never attempt to turn any
composite wood materials, plastics, metal,
stone, or rubber workpieces; turning these
materials can lead to machine damage or
severe injury.
• 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.
The tailstock is equipped with a cam-action
clamping system to secure it to the lathe bed.
When the lever is tightened, a locking plate lifts up
underneath the bed and secures the tailstock in
place. The tailstock can be positioned anywhere
along the lathe bed.
Always operate lathe with tailstock firmly
locked to bed. Serious personal injury may
occur if tailstock moves during operation.
To position tailstock along length of bed:
1. Loosen tailstock lock lever and move tailstock to desired position along bed (see Figure 11).
• 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 injury. Never turn workpieces that have
large/loose knots.
• 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 injury. Only
turn concentric workpieces!
• Wet or "Green" Stock: Turning wood with
a moisture content over 20% can cause
increased wear on tooling.

Note: Clamping hex nut underneath tailstock
(see Figure 12) requires occasional adjusting to ensure proper clamping of tailstock to
bed. Turn this hex nut in small increments to
fine-tune clamping pressure as needed.

Adjusting Tool Rest
The tool rest assembly consists of two components: the tool rest base (or banjo) and the tool
rest. The tool rest base moves forward/backward
and along the length of the lathe bed. The tool
rest rotates and moves up and down in the tool
rest base. Locks for both components allow you to
secure the tool rest in position after making these
adjustments.
When adjusting the tool rest, position it as close
as possible to the workpiece without actually
touching it. This maximizes support where the
cutting occurs and minimizes leverage, reducing
the risk of injury if a "catch" occurs. Adjust the
tool rest as necessary during operations when the
workpiece diameter decreases.
To adjust tool rest:
1. Loosen tool rest base lock lever and move
tool rest assembly to desired position on
lathe bed, as shown in Figure 13.
Note: To maximize support, the tool rest
base should always be locked on both sides
of the bed. Never pull the tool rest so far back
that it is only secured on one side.
Tool
Rest
Tool Rest Lock Handle
Many woodturners typically set the height of the
tool rest
workpiece, depending on their height, the type
of tool they're using, and the type of operation
they're performing.
As a rule of thumb: For most (spindle) turning
operations, the cutting tool should contact the
workpiece slightly above centerline. For most
inside (bowl) turning operations, the cutting tool
should contact the workpiece slightly below
centerline.
Keeping all these factors in mind, your main goal
when adjusting the tool rest should be providing
maximum support for the type of tool being used,
in a position that is safe and comfortable for you.
Improperly supported or positioned cutting
tools can "catch" on workpiece, ejecting
tool from your hands with great force. To
reduce this risk, always ensure tool rest is
properly positioned for each type of operation, cutting tool is firmly supported against
tool rest BEFORE cutting, and cutting tool
is properly positioned to cut at the correct
angle for tool and operation type.

Note: The clamping hex nut underneath the
tool rest base will require occasional adjusting to ensure proper clamping pressure of
the tool rest assembly to the bed. Turn this
hex nut in small increments to fine tune the
clamping pressure as needed.
Always operate lathe with tool rest assembly firmly locked in position. Otherwise,
serious personal injury may occur by tool
being pulled from operator's hands.

Adjusting Spindle
Speed
The Model T32536 utilizes a spindle speed dial
(see Figure 19) that allows for on-the-fly spindle
speed changes from 750 to 3200 RPM. Rotate the
spindle speed dial clockwise to increase speed
and counterclockwise to decrease speed.
Spindle
Speed Dial
Figure 19. Location of spindle speed dial.
Always start lathe with spindle speed dial
set at slowest speed setting, and then
choose correct spindle speed for your operation. Starting lathe at highest speed, or too
fast of spindle speed may lead to workpiece
breaking loose or being thrown from lathe
at a high rate of speed, causing fatal or
severe impact injuries.

Spindle Turning
Spindle turning is the operation performed when
a workpiece is mounted between centers in the
headstock and tailstock, as shown in Figure 21.

Before beginning lathe operation, rotate
workpiece by hand to ensure there is safe
clearance on all sides.
Keep lathe tool resting on tool rest the
ENTIRE time it is in contact with workpiece
or when preparing to make contact between
lathe tool and workpiece. Otherwise, spinning workpiece could force lathe tool out
of your hands or entangle your hands with
workpiece. Failure to heed this warning
could result in serious personal injury.
Spindle Turning Tips:
• When turning the lathe ON, stand away from
the path of the spinning workpiece until the
spindle reaches full speed and you can verify
that the workpiece will not come loose.
Note: Use tool rest to support opposite end of
workpiece so that workpiece and spur center
do not separate during installation.

DO NOT press the workpiece too firmly with
the tailstock or the bearings will bind and
overheat. DO NOT adjust the tailstock too
loosely or the workpiece will spin off the
lathe. Use good judgment and care, otherwise serious impact injuries could result
from the workpiece being ejected at high
rates of speed.
• Use the slowest speed when starting and
stopping the lathe to help prevent accidental
startup at high speeds.
• Select the right speed for the size of workpiece
that you are turning (refer to Figure 20 on
Page 23).
• Keep the turning tool on the tool rest the
ENTIRE time that it is in contact with the
workpiece.
• Learn the correct techniques for each tool
you will use. If you are unsure about how to
use the lathe tools, read books or magazines
about lathe techniques, and seek training
from experienced and knowledgeable lathe
users.
Eye injuries or respiratory problems can
occur while operating this machine. Wear
personal protective equipment to reduce
your risk from these hazards.
Properly adjust tool rest to workpiece (see

Faceplate Turning
Faceplate turning is when a workpiece is mounted
to the faceplate, which is then mounted to the
headstock spindle, as shown in Figure 25. This
type of turning is usually done with open-faced
workpieces such as bowls or plates.
Only use screws with non-tapered heads
(see Figure 27) to attach faceplate to the
workpiece. Screws with tapered heads can
split faceplate or snap off during operation.
CorrectIncorrect
To mount workpiece on faceplate:
1. Mark workpiece center in same manner as
described in Spindle Turning (see Page 24).
Note: Cut off corners of workpiece to make it
as close to "round" as possible, as described
in Spindle Turning, Step 5 (see Page 24).

parallel with each other, or uneven surfaces
will cause workpiece to spin eccentrically,
causing unnecessary vibration and runout. It
is best to mount backing block to faceplate
and turn other surface flat prior to mounting.
After the turning operations are complete, the
workpiece can be sanded and finished (see
Figure 28) before removing it from the lathe.

Selecting Turning
Tools
Lathe tools come in a variety of shapes and sizes,
and usually fall into five major categories.
• 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.
• Scrapers—Typically 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 31. Example of a 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 29. Example of a 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 30. Example of a skew chisel.
Figure 32. Example of a parting tool.
• Specialty Tools—These are the unique,
special function tools to aid in hollowing, bowl
making, cutting profiles, etc. The Swan Neck
Hollowing Tool shown on Page 29 is a good
example of a speciality tool.

Tensioning &
Replacing Belt
3. Remove outboard spindle plate by remov-
ing (3) M4-.7 x 8 Phillips head screws, then
remove spindle adjustment knob, as shown
in Figure 42.
The drive belt stretches as the lathe is used.
Most of the stretching will occur during the first
16 hours, but may continue with further use. If the
lathe loses power while making a cut, the belt may
be slipping and need tensioning. If the belt shows
signs of excessive wear or damage, replace it.

Replacing BrushesReplacing Fuse
This machine features an onboard fuse designed
to protect sensitive electrical parts in the event
of electrical overload. If the fuse has blown, the
motor will not start.
To verify the condition of the fuse, remove it from
the switch box and hold it up to the light. If the
element is broken, the fuse is blown and must be
replaced.
Items Needed Qty
Phillips Head Screwdriver #2 ............................ 1
Fuse (PN PT32536059)
To replace fuse:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove fuse holder on back of switch box
(see Figure 45).

This machine is equipped with a universal motor that uses a pair of carbon brushes to transmit power. These brushes are
considered to be regular "wear items" or
"consumables" that will eventually need to be
replaced. The frequency of this replacement is
directly related to how much the motor is used
and how hard it is pushed. These brushes are not
covered under warranty.
Replace both brushes at the same time if the
motor no longer reaches full power, operates
inconsistently, or when the brushes measure less
1
⁄4" long (new brushes are 5⁄8" long).
than
If your machine is used frequently, we recommend keeping a set of these replacement brushes
on-hand to avoid any downtime.

Wiring Safety Instructions
SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that is con-
nected 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
