SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. ALWAYS KEEP THE GUARDS IN PLACE, and in good working order.
2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form the habit of checking to
see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the machine before turning
it on.
3. KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
4. DON’T USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp
or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep the work area well lit.
5. MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by
removing starter keys.
6. DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
7. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force the tool or attachment to do a job for which it
is not designed.
8. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Don’t wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear
is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
9. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use a face or dust mask if the operation
is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact-resistant lenses. They are NOT
safety glasses.
10. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It’s safer
than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11.DON’T OVER-REACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
12.MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
13.DISCONNECT POWER FROM TOOLS before servicing and when changing
accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, etc.
14.REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure the switch is in
the off position before you plug in the machine.
15.USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the equipment manufacturer’s
manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may
cause injury.
16.NEVER STAND ON THE TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if
the cutting blade is unintentionally contacted.
17.CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, damaged parts should
be carefully checked to determine that they will operate properly and perform their
intended function. Check for alignment, binding or breakage of moving parts, or
any other condition which could affect operations.
18.DIRECTION OF FEED. Only feed work into a blade or cutter against the blade’s
rotation direction.
19.NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL UNATTENDED WHILE IT IS RUNNING. Don’t leave
the tool until it comes to a complete stop.
20.KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read both the assembly and operation manual and
get acquainted with maintenance and lubrication procedures. Never use
accessories or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer as it may result
in injury.

MOUNTING WOOD LATHE ON STAND
1. Have others nearby and ready to lend a hand, as help will be required for lifting the
lathe, and for lining up and securing the bed to the stand.
2. Align the three holes in each end of the tool tray with the corresponding holes in the
right and left stands.(Fig.1)
3. Secure the tool tray to the right and left stands using, at each end, three 5/16” bolts,
washers and nuts.
4. Lift and set the lathe onto the stand and line up the holes at each end in the bed,
with the holes on the top of the stand.(Fig.2)
5. Secure the bed to the stand by using the four 3/8” bolts (2 at each end) from the
bed and through the corresponding holes in the stand.(Fig.3) Tighten the bolts
down by using the four nuts.(Fig.1)

MOUNTING FREQUENCY INVERTER
The frequency inverter is used to control the spindle speed and provides a variable
speed change.
The frequency inverter should be mounted in left stand of the wood lathe. Align the 4
holes on the frequency inverter with those on the left stand. Tighten the frequency
inverter with round head screws 3/16”-24UNC 1/4”.

CHANGING SPINDLE SPEED RANGE
The spindle provides 3 ranges of speed –high, medium and low. The high speed
range is from 0 to 3,750 rpm. Medium speed range is from 0 to 2,000 rpm. Low
speed range is from 0 to 1,000 rpm. Spindle speed ranges are shown on the speed
chart attached to the inside of the headstock cover.
Changing the spindle speed range is made by positioning the belt on proper pulleys as
follows:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2. Loosen the headstock cover lock knob. Then, open the cover.
3. Loosen the lock lever that tightens the motor base.
4. Loosen the belt tension by pulling backward the belt tension lever. Positioning the
belt on the proper pulleys according to the speed chart indication.
5. Pushing forward the belt tension lever for tightening the belt tension. The motor
weight provides a tightening effect to belt tension.
6. Tighten the motor base lock lever securely after the spindle speed range has been
changed.
7. Close and tighten the headstock cover.
Caution: If you feel difficult to change belt, please open the side plate.

CHANGING SPINDLE SPEED
The spindle speed is controlled by a frequency inverter which provides variable speed
change. The spindle provides 3 ranges of speed—high, medium and low. The range
of speed is shown on the speed chart attached to the headstock.
Change the spindle speed as follows:
1. Check the present spindle speed range.
2. Start the spindle running.
3. Turn the speed regulation knob to change speed. Turn it clockwisely (toward +
direction) for increasing speed and counter-clockwisely (toward - direction) for
decreasing speed.
4. Change spindle speed only when the spindle is running.
5. The spindle speed is displayed on the spindle speed readout.

HEADSTOCK INDEXING
1. The headstock can be swiveled to desired angles.
2. To rotate the headstock, loosen the headstock fix lever which is located at the left
side of the headstock. Pull the indexing pin out to release the headstock.
3. Rotate the headstock to your desired angle. There are 6 stops for quick indexing of
the headstock at 0°, 45°, 90°, 135°, 180°and 270°.
4. Push in the indexing pin until it engages with the headstock.
5. Tighten the headstock fix lever when it is positioned properly.
CAUTION
When indexing the headstock at 270°, care should be taken to avoid the headstock
interfering with the power wire.

MOUNTING AND REMOVING HEADSTOCK CENTER
AND TAILSTOCK LIVE CENTER
1. Disconnect the machine from the power source before mounting or removing the
headstock and tailstock center.
2. Fit the spur center into the spindle taper hole or fit the tailstock center into the
tailstock quill taper hole.
3. Clean the center and spindle hole before fitting.
4. To remove the spur center, insert a steel rod through the spindle and knock out the
center. At this time, hold the spur center by hand to prevent it dropping down.
5. To remove the tailstock center from the quill, turn the tailstock hand wheel until the
center is released.
6. Loosen the quill fix lever before moving the quill in or out. Tighten the fix lever when
the center is fitted to hold the workpiece.
WARNING
The headstock & tailstock center are very sharp. Care should be taken when
mounting or removing it.
