To remove the live center from the tailstock
spindle, loosen locking arm 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.

Secure Lathe to a Solid Work Surface
The lathe must be attached to a solid work
surface or stand. Four mounting holes are easily
accessible at the base of the lathe. (See Fig.09)
Adjustments and Operations
Adjusting the Tool Rest
The tool rest base can be easily moved along
the lathe bed. Loosen the locking lever counter
clockwise, slide the tool rest base to new position,
and tighten the locking lever clockwise.
To adjust the height of the tool rest, loosen the
locking arm, raise or lower the tool rest, then
tighten the locking arm. (See Fig.10)
Note: Position the tool rest as close to the work
piece as possible.
To adjust the clamping action of the tool rest
base, remove the base and adjust the nut
clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to
loosen.(See Fig.11)

Installing Tool Holder On the Lathe Bed
Located the tool holder from the carton, and
install it onto the lathe bed with two pan head
screws. (See Fig.08)
Pan head screw
Installing The Faceplate to the
Headstock
Thread the faceplate clockwise on to the
headstock spindle. Engage the spindle lock
and stop the spindle from turning. Tighten the
faceplate with the supplied wrench. (See Fig.07)

Adjusting Tailstock
Loosen the locking lever to move the tailstock
along the lathe bed to the desired position.
Tighten the lever.
To adjust clamping action of the tailstock, remove
it from the lathe bed and adjust the nut clockwise
to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen.(See
Fig.12)
To adjust the tailstock arm in or out, loosen the
locking arm and turn the handwheel. When the
tailstock arm is in a desired position, tighten
locking arm.

Changing Spindle Speeds
The lathe features a six step motor and spindle
pulleys to provide different spindle speeds. Open
access cover to change spindle speeds.
(See Fig.14)
With access cover open, loosen locking arm.
Raise lever to release tension on motor pulley
and tighten locking arm. Check speed and belt
position chart inside access cover to determine
spindle speed required.
Move drive belt to desired pulley combination.
Loosen locking arm, lower lever, and the motor
will provide proper tension on the drive belt.
Tighten locking arm and close access cover. (See
Fig.14)
Typical Operations
The lathe is set up for a typical spindle turning
operation.(See Fig.15)

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.

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)
Indexing/Spindle Lock
The dual purpose indexing/spindle lock is
positioned on the top of the headstock for ease
of use. The headstock indexing feature has 12
equally spaced positions. The spring loaded
locking pin assembly is engaged by turning the
knob a half turn allowing it to drop into the desired
position. To disengage, lift the lock knob up and
turn a half turn either direction. (See Fig.17 &
Fig.18)
The 12 position indexing feature allows accurate
pattern work on projects such as straight
fluting, grooving, drilling, lay out and more. This
feature also allows the user to lock the spindle
for removing face plates, chucks and other
accessories without needing two tools.
To use the spindle lock, disengage the locking
pin by lifting up and rotating a half turn. The pin
will engage in the closest pin available. Once
locked an accessory such as a face plate can be
removed with the wrench supplied. Fig.18
Maintenance
Fig.16
Fig.17

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.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, ALWAYS TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE MACHINE BEFORE
CARRYING OUT ANY TROUBLESHOOTING.
Symptom Possible Cause Solution
Motor will not start Machine no plugged in Plug the machine in
Low voltage
Loose connection
Motor overheats Motor overloaded Reduce load on motor
Air flow restricted on motor Clean out motor to obtain normal air flow
Excessive motor noise Bad motor Have motor checked
Pulley set screw loose Tighten set screw
Motor will not develop Circuit overloaded with lights or Decrease the load on the circuit
full power or stalls other tools
Circuit too long or undersized wires Reduce the length of the wire or
increase the wire size
Voltage too low Have the voltage checked by an electrican
Circuit breakers do not have sufficient Have a licensed electrician install proper
capacity size breaker
Drive belt tension too high Adjust belt tension
Use of extension cord Use heavier guage extension cord or no
extension cord
Machine bogs down Excessive depth of cut Decrease depth of cut
during cutting Turning tools are dull Sharpen turning tools
***************WARNING***************
Do not make adjustments while the lathe is running! Ensure the switch is off, power is
disconnected and all moving parts have stopped before servicing. Failure to comply may
result in serious injury!
