Before Using the Lathe
WARNING: Some dust crea ted
by power sanding, sawing, grind­ing, drilling, and othe r construction activities contains chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these che micals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and othe r masonry prod­ucts, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to th ese chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equip­ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of mistakes that coul d cause seri­ous, permanent injur y, do not plug the lathe in until the following steps have been satisfactorily com­pleted.
Know and Understand the Lathe
• Completely assemble and align lathe.
• Learn the use and function of the ON-OFF switch.
• Review and understand all safety instructions and operating proce­dures in this manual.
• Review the maintenance methods for this lathe.
• Find and read the warning label found on the lathe (shown below).

Safety Instructions For Wood Turning Lathe (continued)
When Installing Or Moving the Lathe
Reduce the Risk of Dangerous Environment.
• Use the lathe in a dry, indoor place protected from rain.
• Keep work area well lighted.
To reduce the risk of injury from unexpected lathe movement.
• The lathe and motor must be bolted down to a stand or workbench for stability.
• To reduce the risk of injury from electrical shock, make sure your fin­gers do not touch the plug’s metal
Before Each Use
Inspect your lathe.
• To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, turn the switch off, unplug the lathe, and remove the switch key before changing the speeds, changing the setup, or adjusting anything.
• Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, unit stability, and any other conditions that may affect the way the lathe works.
• If any part is missing, bent or broken in any way, or any electrical part does not work properly, turn the lathe off and unplug the lathe.
• Replace damaged, missing or failed parts before using the lathe again.
• Keep lathe interior free of wood chips and dust buildup around motor and switch box.
prongs when plugging in or unplug­ging the lathe.
• T urn off and unplug the lathe before moving it to a new area. To reduce the risk of back injury, get help when you need to lift or move the lathe.
Never Stand On Tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool tips or you accidentally hit the cutter head. Do not store anything above or near the tool where anyone might stand on the tool to reach them.
• Keep turning tools sharp. Dull or nicked tools tend to dig in the wood, causing the tool or workpiece to be thrown.
• To reduce the risk of injury from unsafe accessories, use only rec­ommended accessories.
Use Recommended Accessories.
• To avoid injury from unsafe acces­sories, use only recommended accessories.
• Consult the operator’s manual for recommended accessories.
• Follow the instructions that accom­pany the accessories.
WARNING: Use only accesso­ries recommended for this lathe. (Using other accessories may be dangerous.)
To Reduce the Risk of Injury From Jams, Slips Or Thrown Pieces (Kickbacks Or Throwbacks)
When turning between centers or on the faceplate:
- Always rough-out "out of round" workpieces at slow speed.
4
- Running the lathe too fast, so that it vibrates, could cause the work­piece to be thrown from the lathe... or the turning tool to be jerked from your hands.
Always revolve the workpiece by hand before turning on the motor. If the workpiece strikes the tool rest, it could split and be thrown out of the lathe.
Do not allow the t urni ng to ol to "b ite " into the workpiece w hich could r esult in splitting of the workpiece or the work­piece being throw n from t he la the .
- Always position the tool rest above the centerline of the lathe for spindle turning.
- Do not apply the turning tool to the workpiece below the level of the tool rest.
Do not run the lathe in the wrong direction. This could cause the turn­ing tool to be thrown from your hands. The lathe must run in a direction so that the top of the workpiece turns toward you.
Before attaching a workpiece to the faceplate:
- Always "rough it out" to as "true
round" as possible. This will mini­mize vibration while turning.
- Always fasten the workpiece securely to the face-plate.
- Failure to perform these set-up operations could cause the work­piece to be thrown from the lathe.
Avoid awkward hand positions, where a sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the workpiece.
Remove all loose knots before install­ing workpiece between centers or on the faceplate.
Never leave the lathe work are a with the power on, before the lathe has come to a complete stop, or without removing and storing the switch key.
Never operate the lathe with protec­tive cover on the unused shaft end of the motor removed.
Hang your turning tools on the wall toward the tailstock end of the lathe. Do not lay them on the bench so that you must reach over the revolving workpiece to select them.
Keep firm hold and control of the turn­ing tool at all times. Special caution must be exercised when knots or voids are exposed to the turning tool.
Plan Ahead To Protect Your Eyes, Hands, Face and Ears
Reduce the Risk of Accidental Starting.
• Make sure switch is “OFF” before plugging lathe into a power outlet.
Dress for safety.
• Any power tool can throw foreign objects into the eyes. This can result in permanent eye damage. Always wear safety goggles, not glasses complying with ANSI Z87.1 (or in Canada CSA Z94.3-99) shown on package. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses.
They are not safety glasses. Safety goggles are available at many local retail stores. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI or CSA could seriously hurt you when they break.
• For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along with safety goggles.
5
Safety Instructions For Wood Turning Lathe (continued)
• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry (rings, wrist watches). They can get caught and draw you into moving parts.
• Wear nonslip footwear.
• Tie back long hair.
• Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
• Noise levels vary widely. To reduce the risk of possible hearing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using lathe for hours at a time.
Inspect Your Workpiece
• Think Safety.
• Complete hand sanding of the work­piece before removing it from the faceplace. Never attempt to rem ove and then remount a faceplate turn­ing to the faceplace for any reason. It is not always possible to position the turning on the faceplace exactly the way it was originally and an out­of-balance condition could result.
Never attempt to remount a between-centers turning if the origi­nal centers in the turning have been altered or removed. Be positive the lathe is set at the lowest speed if remounting a between-centers turn­ing with non-altered original centers.
• Use extra caution in mounting a between-centers or spind le turni ng to the faceplate, or a faceplate turn­ing to between- centers, for subse­quent operations. Be positive the lathe is set at the lowest speed before turning ON.
Never mount a workpiece that con­tains any splits, checks, or loose knots to a faceplate or between cen­ters.
• Do not perform any operation when hand holding the workpiece. Do not mount a reamer, milling cutter, wire wheel, or a drill bit to the headstock spindle.
Whenever Lathe Is Running
WARNING: Don't allow familiar-
ity (gained from frequent use of your lathe) to cause a careless mistake. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury.
• Before actually turning with the lathe, let it run for a while. If it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates a lot, stop immediately. Turn the lathe off. Unplug th e lath e. Do no t rest art un til finding and correcting the problem.
Keep Children Away.
• Keep all visitors a safe distance from the lathe.
• Make sure bystanders are clear of the lathe and workpiece.
Don’t Force Tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Feed the tool into the workpiece only fast enough to let the tool cut without bogging down or binding.
Before freeing jammed material.
• Turn switch “OFF”.
• Wait for all moving parts to stop.
• Unplug the lathe.
Before Leaving the Lathe
• Turn the lathe off.
• W ait for lathe to come to a complete stop.
• Unplug the lathe.
• Make workshop child-proof. Lock the shop. Disconnect master switches. Re move the yell ow sw itch key. Store it away from children and others not qualified to use the tool.

Holes for Mounting
t
3. Locate the four holes Lab ele d H on th e plate support.
4. Place the motor over these holes with the motor shaft extending through the belt guard plate. Secure in place with carriage bolts, washers, lockwashers and nuts.
5. Plug motor cord into outlet on back of switch box. Do Not plug m otor cord in to power source outlet.
6. Route the motor cord and power cord along side the headstock as shown. Secure the motor cord and power cord with two cord clamps and an M4 x 0.7- 6 pan head screw into the tapped holes Labeled J in the motor mounting pla te.
7. Place the motor pulley on the motor shaft so that the small diameter is approximately 1/16" away from the motor. Tighten the setscrew with the 4mm Hex “L” wrench securely against the flat spot on the motor shaft.
8. Place the belt on the pulleys and slide the motor toward the rea r of workben ch until all the slack is removed from the belt. Tighten only two of the motor mounting bolts at this time.
NOTE: 1/2 inch d efl ect ion of belt under moderate pressure applied between the two pulleys is adequate tension.
9. Place a straightedge su ch as a pie ce of wood, metal or framing square across the pulleys to see if th ey are i n line w ith each other. If they are, tighten the other two motor mounting bolts. If they are not in line, loosen the two motor bolts and move the motor sideways until pul­leys are in line. Tighten the bolts.
NOTE: Changing speeds is accom­plished by repositioning the V-Belt on the pulleys (see Changing Speeds” section). There needs to be sufficient slack in the V-belt to allow for this.
