General Safety Rules
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your wood lathe works.
1. READ and become familiar with this entire instruction manual. Learn the tool’s applications,
limitations, and possible hazards.
2. AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. DO NOT use power tools in wet or damp areas or expose
them to rain. Keep work area well lit.
3. DO NOT use power tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
4. ALWAYS keep your work area clean, uncluttered and well lit. DO NOT work on a floor surface
that is slippery with sawdust, wax or similar.
5. KEEP BYSTANDERS AT A SAFE DISTANCE FROM the work area especially when tool is operating.
NEVER allow children near the tool.
6. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to do a job for which it was not designed.
7. DRESS FOR SAFETY. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry (rings, watches)
when operating tool. They can get caught and draw you into moving parts. ALWAYS wear
non-slip footwear, and tie back long hair.
8. WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK. Wood lathe operation produces dust.

9. ALWAYS remove the plug from the electrical outlet when making adjustments, changing parts,
cleaning or working on tool.
10. AVOID ACCIDENTAL START-UPS. Make sure that the power switch is in the “OFF” position before
plugging in the power cord.
11. REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. ALWAYS MAKE SURE all tools are removed from the wood lathe
before turning it on.
12. NEVER STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could result if the tool tips or is accidentally hit DO NOT
store anything above or near the tool.
13. NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED. Turn the power switch to “OFF”. DO NOT leave
tool until it has come to a complete stop.
14. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil resistant
rubber-soled footwear. Keep floor clear of oil scrap and other debris.
15. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
16. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, improper mounting or any other conditions that may affect the tools
operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced before use.
17. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF. Use padlocks, master switches and ALWAYS remove starter
keys where possible.
18. DO NOT operate tool if you are under the influence of any drugs, alcohol or medication that
could affect your ability to use the tool properly.
19. WARNING. Dust penetrated from certain materials can be hazardous to your health. Always
operate lathe in a well-ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust
collection systems whenever possible.

WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE YOUR WOOD LATHE UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMSLED AND
INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
Specific Safety Rules for the Wood Lathe
1. For your own safety, read the entire instruction manual before operating the lathe.
2. ALWAYS wear eye protection.
3. Do not wear gloves, necktie, or loose clothing.
4. Tighten all locks before operating.
5. Do not mount a split work-piece.
6. Use the lowest speed when starting a new work-piece.
7. Read the warning label attached to the wood lathe.
8. When turning a work-piece, always rough the wood to round form at slow speed. If the lathe is run so
fast that it vibrates, there is a risk that the work-piece will be thrown or the tool jerked from your hands.
9. Always rotate the work-piece by hand before turning on the motor. If the work-piece strikes the tool rest,
it could split and be thrown out of the lathe.
10. Do not allow the turning tools to bite into the wood. The wood could split or be thrown from the lathe.
11. Always position the tool rest just above the centerline of the lathe when shaping a piece of stock.
12. Do not operate the lathe if it is rotating in the wrong direction. The work-piece must always be rotating
toward you.
13. Before attaching a work-piece to the faceplate, always rough in out to make it as round as possible.
This minimizes the vibrations while the piece is being turned. Always fasten the work-piece securely to
the faceplate. Failure to do so could result in the work-piece being thrown from the lathe.
14. Position your hands so that they will not slip onto the work-piece.
15. Remove all loose knots in the stock before mounting it between the centers or on the faceplate.
16. Leave the work area only after the lathe’s motor has some to a full stop.
17. Hang your turning tools on the wall beyond the tailstock end of the lathe. Do not lay them on the bench
so that you must reach over the revolving work-piece to select them.
18. Keep a firm hold and remain in control of the cutting tool at all times. Take special precautions when
shaping a section of stock in which knots or voids are found.
19. Always make safety come first.

Operations / Adjustments
Mounting & Changing Speed
The removable control box should be mounted onto the side of
the lathe.
The mounting screws and washers etc. are included. The lathe
is fitted with a 3-step pulley set-up along with the variable speed
control which will allow for speeds ranging from 500 – 3500 rpm;
See Speed Chart.
Adjusting Belt Position
Make sure that the lathe is turned off or unplugged. Open the
belt door on the headstock. Loosen the ratchet handle to allow
the motor plate to swivel upwards. Swing the control box to the
side for access to the motor pulley. To change the speed;
move the drive belt from one pulley to another. (NOTE: Always
go from the larger Pulley to the smaller pulley). After moving the
belt, move down and tighten the motor pulley with the ratchet
handle- this also tightens the belt. Turn your lathe's power on, and make sure that the belt is
running consistently in its parallel groove. If all is smooth, turn the power off, re-attach the control
box and the belt door to their original positions.
Belt, Spindle & Bearing Replacement
Refer to the Parts Diagram.
To change the belt (#53), spindle (#14), or bearings (#4) for the lathe, you must first loosen the
two set screws (#2) and hand wheel (#1). Next remove the upper access door (#7) and knob
(#8). loosen the set screw (#69) on the drive pulley (#25). Tap out the spindle using a mallet. If
you do not have a mallet, place a block of wood against the spindle and tap with a hammer. To
get the spindle completely out, use a flat head screwdriver to punch it the rest of the way. Be
careful not to damage the bearings or the threads. Replace the bearings, spindle or belt as
required.
Belt: You need only to move the spindle enough to slide a new belt on.
Spindle: You must knock the spindle completely out through both bearings.
Bearings: After removal of the spindle, completely - knock out the bearings from the inside of the
headstock. This is best accomplished by inserting a long rod or screwdriver through one bearing
inside the headstock toward the opposite bearing. Tap firmly to remove the bearing from the
casting. Do the same for the second bearing. Please be aware not to damage the retainers (#13)
when tapping out the bearing. Reassemble the new bearings by tapping them into place from
the outside. Replace the spindle.
Note: You may have to loosen the ratchet handle (PARTS #44, #45,#46) to reinstall the spindle
pulley (#52), spindle collar (#3), and belt (#53). Reinstall the hand wheel and set screws. DO NOT
tighten the hand wheel against the bearings. Tighten the pulley set screw and close the access
door.
