This manual provides critical safety instructions on the proper setup,
operation, maintenance, and service of this machine/tool. Save this
document, refer to it often, and use it to instruct other operators.

Failure to read, understand and follow the instructions in this manual
may result in fire or serious personal injury—including amputation,
electrocution, or death.

The owner of this machine/tool is solely responsible for its safe use.
This responsibility includes but is not limited to proper installation in
a safe environment, personnel training and usage authorization,
proper inspection and maintenance, manual availability and compre­hension, application of safety devices, cutting/sanding/grinding tool
integrity, and the usage of personal protective equipment.

The manufacturer will not be held liable for injury or property
damage from negligence, improper training, machine modifications or
misuse.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.

• 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 these 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.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You can

be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live

machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow an
electrician or qualified service personnel to
do electrical installation or repair work, and
always disconnect power before accessing or
exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. Always disconnect

machine from power supply BEFORE making
adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing
machine. This eliminates the risk of injury
from unintended startup or contact with live
electrical components.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved

safety glasses or a face shield when operating
or observing machinery to reduce the risk of
eye injury or blindness from flying particles.
Everyday eyeglasses are not approved safety
glasses.

DUST. Dust created while using

SAFETY

machinery may cause cancer, birth defects,
or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of
dust hazards associated with each workpiece
material, and always wear a NIOSH-approved
respirator to reduce your risk.

Always wear hearing
protection when operating or observing
loud machinery. Extended exposure to this
noise without hearing protection can cause
permanent hearing loss.

Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys,
wrenches, or any other tools on machine.
Always verify removal before starting!

Only use machine for its
intended purpose—never make modifications
without prior approval from Woodstock
International. Modifying machine or using
it differently than intended will void the
warranty and may result in malfunction or
mechanical failure that leads to serious
personal injury or death!

Keep proper footing and
balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand
positions that make workpiece control difficult
or increase the risk of accidental injury.

Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work
area. Stop using machine if they become a
distraction.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult

this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for
recommended accessories. Using improper
accessories will increase risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk

of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop
before walking away. Never leave machine
running while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance

instructions and lubrication schedules to
keep machine in good working condition. A

damaged or mis-adjusted parts before
operating machine.

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnecting

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:

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.

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.

Verify tool rest, headstock,

and tailstock are secure before turning lathe
ON.

An improperly secured
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 non­tapered heads for faceplate attachment.

Model W1836 (For Machines Mfd. Since 04/15)

This machine must be connected to the correct size and
type of power supply circuit, or fire or electrical damage
may occur. Read through this section to determine if an
adequate power supply circuit is available. If a correct
circuit is not available, a qualified electrician MUST install
one before you can connect the machine to power.

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 full­load 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:

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.

Machine Placement

\• Working Clearances: Consider existing and

anticipated needs, size of material to be
processed through the machine, and space
for auxiliary stands, work tables, or other
machinery when determining where to
locate this machine.

• Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough

to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.

• Electrical: Electrical circuits must be

dedicated or large enough to handle
amperage requirements. Outlets must be
located near each machine, so power or
extension cords are clear of high-traffic
areas. Follow local electrical codes for
proper installation of new lighting, outlets,
or circuits.

INJURY HAZARD! Untrained
users can injure themselves
with this machine. Restrict
access to machine when
you are away, especially if
it is installed where chil­dren are present.

381⁄2"

Cleaning Machine

The table and other unpainted parts of your
machine are coated with a waxy grease that
protects them from corrosion during shipment.
Clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or
citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlorine­based solvents such as brake parts cleaner or
acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a
painted surface, you will ruin the finish.

NEVER clean with gasoline
or other petroleum­based solvents. Most have
low flash points, which
make them extremely
flammable. A risk of
explosion and burning
exists if these products
are used. Serious personal
injury may occur if this
warning is ignored!

ALWAYS work in well­ventilated areas far from
possible ignition sources
when using solvents to
clean machinery. Many
solvents are toxic when
inhaled or ingested. Use
care when disposing
of waste rags and
towels to be sure they
DO NOT create fire or
environmental hazards.
