Grounding Instructions
This tool must be grounded while in use to prevent electric shock.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce t he ri sk of elec tric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-gr ounding conductor and a groundi ng plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the pl ug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor, with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yell ow stripes, is the
equipment-gr ounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if t he gr ounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only three wire extension cords that have three-prong groundi ng plugs and three-pole recept acl es
that accept the tool’s plug.*
Repair or replace a dam aged or worn cord im mediately.
This tool is int ended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that look s the one illustrated in Figure A below.
The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the grounding pl ug as ill ustrated in Figure A below. A
temporary adapt er , which looks like the adapter as illustrated in Figure B below, may be used to connect
this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in Figure B if a properly gr ounded outlet is not available.**
The temporary adapter shoul d only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear or tab, extending from the adapter, m ust be connect ed
to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
Figure A Figure B
* Canadian electric al c odes require extension cords to be certif ied SJT type or better.
** Use of an adapter in Canada is not acceptable.

Lathe Tools
Figure 6
Figure 7
Adjusting Tool Rest
Position the tool rest as close to the work piece as
possible. It should be 1/8" above the centerline.
Position the tool rest base on the bed or bed
extension by releasing the lock handle (A, Figure
7) and sliding to the desired position. Tighten
handle (A, Figure 7) to lock.
Adjust the height of the tool rest by loosening
handle (B, Figure 7) and raising arm (C, Figure 7).
Should adjustment of the tool rest clamping device
become necessary, simply turn base over and
adjust large nut (D, Figure 8).
Most turning is accomplished with special
woodworking chisels. They are available
individually or in sets. Below is a list of eight of the
most popular types of chisels:
5/16", 1/2", and 1" Gouge - a round nose, hollow
chisel for roughing and cove cutting.
1/2" and 1" Skew - a double ground, flat, and end
ground to an angle used for smoothing cylinders
and cutting shoulders, beads, v-grooves, etc.
1/2" Diamond Point and 1/2" Round Nose - used
where their shape fits the contour of the work.
1/2" Parting Tool - double-gro und chisel used for
cutting-off, straight incisions, and sizing cuts to any
diameter.
Spindle Turning
Most turning on a wood lathe will be between
centers, or spindle turning.
Centering the Work
Preparation of the stock for spindle turning starts
with finding the center of the work piece. The most
common method is the diagonal method. Draw two
lines to opposite corners on each end of the
workpiece (Figure 9). The intersection of these two
lines is the center. Mark both ends of the stock.
Mark the center of each end with a punch awl for
softer wood or drill each end approximately 1/8"
depth for harder woods. Place the spur center o n
one end and seat it by striking with a mallet. Hold
the center and work piece together and prepare to
mount between the spindles.
Figure 8
Figure 9
11
Mounting the Wo rk
Move the tailstock to approximately 1 to 1-1/2"
from the end of the work piece and lock in position.
Turn the tailstock handwheel until the center
makes contact with the work piece. Continue to
turn the hand wheel and slowly rotate the work
piece by hand. After the work piece becomes
difficult to turn by hand, reverse the hand wheel
approximately one quarter turn and lock the
tailstock spindle (Figure 10).
Figure 10
Adjusting the Tool Rest
Position the tool rest appro ximately 1/8" aw ay f rom
the work piece and 1/8" above the work centerline.
After some experience has been gained, this
position can be varied slightly to suit the operation.
Figure 12
Roughing a Cylinder
Use a large gouge and run the lathe at a slow
speed to rough-off the sharp corners of the work.
Begin the cut 2 to 3 inches from the tailstock and
work toward and off the tailstock end. Continue by
cutting the next 2 to 3 inches left of the first cut,
preferably working toward the tailstock end. This
method of always working toward the tailstock is
preferred because it throws the chips clear of the
operator. Do not rough cut by taking one long pass
at the work piece and do not start cuts at either end
of the work piece. This has a tendency to tear long
slivers from the work piece. Roll the gouge over
slightly in the direction of the cut for best results.
Once a cylindrical form has started to take shape,
step up the speed one or two stops.
Position of Hands
There is no "proper" position for the hands when
using chisels. Most beginners begin by using the
palm-down grip (Figure 11) for better control and
switch later to the palm-up position (Figure 12) for
better manipulation. In the palm-down position, the
little finger or heel of the hand acts as a guide
along the tool rest. The first finger acts as a guide
when using the palm-up method.
Figure 11
Smoothing a Cylinder
Use a large skew chisel with the cutting point near
the center of the chisel and high up on the work
piece. Support the chisel on the tool rest at all
times. To locate the proper cutting position, place
the chisel flat against the work piece with the skew
well over the area to be cut. Pull back slowly on the
chisel until it bites into the wood. Raising the
handle will increase the depth of c ut; lowering the
handle will decrease the depth of cut.
Using the Parting Tool
The parting tool is a scraping tool and is simply
pushed into the work piece. A better cutting action
is obtained by starting the cut with the handle low
and gradually raising it as t he cut gets deeper. If
the cut is over 3/8" deep, a clearance cut should be
made alongside the first cut to avoid burning the
chisel point.
Face Plate Turning
Work that cannot be turned between ce nters must
be attached to and turned on a face plate. All work
should be cut slightly oversized prior to mounting
on the face plate to prevent heavy roughing cuts
du ring turning.
Mount the work piece directly to the face plate
using four wood screws from the back. Be careful
12
to use screws short enough not to interfere with the
cutting process but long enough to hold the work
piece securely to the face plate. If screws will
interfere with the cutting process, the work piece
can be screwed to a backing block and the backing
block screwed to the face plate. If screw mounting
is not allowed at all, the work may be glued to a
backing block and the backing block screwed to
the face plate. A piece of paper in the glue joint will
prevent damaging the wood when separated later.
Remove the spur center from the headstock
spindle by inserting the drift pi n into the opening in
the headstock and pushing the spur center out.
Mount the face plate with the workpiece already
attached onto the threaded portion of the spindle
and hand tighten. Note: Pieces up to 12" may be
turned with the headstock spindle facing the
tailstock (Figure 13). For larger work pieces, the
head stock will have to be turned 90 degrees, the
tool rest extension added to the tool rest, and the
tool rest moved out to the bed extension (Figure
14).
Figure 14
For face plate turning, the tool rest is set
approximately 1/8" from the work piece and slightly
lower than centerline. The chisel must be held on
the left half of the tool rest so that the rotation of
the work piece keeps the chisel against the tool
rest. Attempts at cutting from the right side of the
rest may cause the chisel to be ripped from the
operator's hand.
