2.4 RECOMMENDED PROTECTIVE CLOTHING • • • •
Non-slip footwear is recommended. Do not wear loose clothing, neckties or jewellery; they can be caught in moving parts. Roll up long sleeves above the elbow. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
2.5 NOISE EMISSION The measurements of noise, in the working position and during operation, were carried out under the standard ISO 7960 Annex B and C: Instantaneous acoustic pressure:
Sound power level(no load)
<98dB(A)
Sound power level(load)
<107dB(A)
Sound Pressure level(no load) <89dB(A)
Sound Pressure level(load)
<98dB(A)
Constant K=4 dB measured in accordance with EN ISO 3746:1995 The figures quoted are emission levels and are not necessarily safe working levels. Whilst there is a correlation between the emission and exposure levels, this cannot be used reliably to determine whether or not further precautions are required. Factors that influence the actual level of exposure of the workforce include the characteristics of the work room and the other sources of noise etc. i.e. the number of machines and other adjacent processes. Also the permissible exposure level can vary from country to country. This information, however, will enable the user of the machine to make a better evaluation of the hazard and risk.
2.6 PRESCRIBED USE OF THE MACHINE This machine is intended for turning between centers and face plate turning of solid woods. The permissible workpiece dimensions must be observed (see Technical Specification). Any other use is not as specified. Unspecified use, modification of the machine or use of parts not tested and approved by the equipment manufacturer can cause unforeseen damage.
2.7 HAZARDS ATTENTION Mini lathe still present risks that cannot be eliminated by the manufacturer. Therefore the user must be aware that wood working machines are dangerous if not used with care and all safety precautions adhered to.

California Proposition 65 Warning WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure, work in a well-ventilated area and with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Spur center
headstock spindle. (See FIG.2)
FIG. 3
3.3 ATTACHING LIVE CENTER ON THE TAILSTOCK - Insert the live center, with a No.2 Morse Taper shank into the
Live center
tailstock spindle. (See FIG.3)
6
3.4 INSTALLING TOOL HOLDER ON THE LATHE BED
FIG. 4
- Located the tool holder from the carton, and install it onto the lathe bed with two pan head screws. (See FIG.4)
Tool holder
FIG. 5
3.5 SECURE LATHE TO A SOLID WORK SURFACE - The lathe must be attached to a solid work surface or stand.
FIG. 5
Four mounting holes are easily accessible at the base of the lathe. (See FIG.5)
Mounting holes
4. Adjustment
FIG. 6
4.1 KNOCKOUT BAR - The knockout bar is used to remove the spur center from the headstock spindle. Insert knockout bar into hole at opposite side from spur center. (See FIG.6)
Knockout bar
FIG. 7
- The knockout bar is also used to remove the live center from the tailstock spindle. Loosen locking and rotate the hand wheel counter clockwise to retract spindle into the body of the tailstock. The live center will be pushed out of the spindle. (See FIG.7)
Knockout bar

4.2 INSTALLING OR UNINSTALLING THE FACEPLATE TO THE HEADSTOCK
FIG. 8
- Thread the faceplate clockwise onto the headstock spindle. Next, engage the spindle lock and stop the spindle from turning, and tighten faceplate with supplied wrench. (See FIG.8)
Faceplate Spindle lock
- Engage the spindle lock and stop the spindle from turning and loosen faceplate with supplied wrench. Unthread the faceplate anticlockwise from the headstock spindle.
FIG. 9
4.3 ADJUSTING THE TOOL REST
Tool rest
- The tool rest base can be easily moved along the lathe bed. Loosen locking lever counter clockwise, slide tool rest base to new position, and tighten locking lever clockwise. Tool rest base
Locking arm
- To adjust the height fo the tool rest, loosen locking arm, raise or lower tool rest, tighten locking arm. (See FIG.9) Locking lever
NOTE: Position the tool rest as close to the work piece as possible. It should be 1/8" above the centerline of the workpiece. FIG. 10

4.5 CHANGING SPINDLE SPEEDS(FIG.13) - The lathe features three step motor and headstock spindle
FIG. 13
pulleys. These three drive ratios are used in conjunction with the electronic variable speed control to provide maximum power and speed when required. - Open both motor pulley and Headstock pulley access doors. Loosen motor locking arm and raise motor. Move drive belt to selected drive ratio. Lower motor for adequate belt tension and tighten locking arm.
Access cover
(Do not apply excessive load onto the belt prior to locking, as
Tension lever
damage may result.) - High ratio range - (small diameter Headstock pulley / large diameter motor pulley) This ratio is for faster speeds - eg. Spindle turning and small Faceplate projects. - Medium ratio range - (center Headstock / Motor Pulley diameters) This ratio is suitable for most general woodturning work such as Spindle and Faceplate projects. - Low ratio range - (large diameter Headstock pulley / small diameter motor pulley) This range will provide maximum lower speed power ideally suited for larger Bowl turning projects. - Once the desired ratio has been selected, firstly ensure the project is fixed to the machine in a strong and safe manner and fully supported by the Tailstock where possible. Make sure the speed control knob is set on the slowest "o" position. The machine can now be started with the speed control knob being slowly increased until a suitable and safe cutting speed is achieved. NOTE: For operator safety, always return speed control knob to "O" position when stopping the machine.

CAUTION Disengage spindle lock before turning the machine on.
5.1. ON/OFF SWITCH (See FIG.14) · To switch ON = press green switch button. · To switch OFF = press red switch button. · To micro-adjust motor speed = Turn micro-adjusting knob. FIG. 15
5.2. TYPICAL OPERATIONS - The lathe is set up for a typical spindle turning operation. (See FIG.15) - The lathe can be set up for a faceplate turning operation. The work piece should be "rough cut" as close as possible to finished shape before mounting. (See FIG.16)
FIG. 16
6. Maintenance CAUTION BEFORE CLEANING OR CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE WORK, DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE (WALL SOCKET). NEVER USE WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS TO CLEAN THE MACHINE. USE A BRUSH. REGULAR MAINTENANCE OF THE MACHINE WILL PREVENT UNNECESSARY PROBLEMS. - Keep the lathe bed casting clean and lubricated. - Keep the outside of the machine clean to ensure accurate operation of all moving parts and prevent excessive wear. - Keep the ventilation slots of the motor clean to prevent it from overheating. - Remove all saw dust and chips from the lathe after each use.

7. Electrical Requirements In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding 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 plug 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 yellow stripes, is the equipment-grounding 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 the grounding 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 grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
